Filters the list of layers based on the criteria that you specify.

By Balaji Ramamoorthy Here is a sample code snippet to import layer filters including nested layer filters from another drawing. The layers that qualify the filters are also imported. A sample drawing with a few nested layer filters that I tested this code with can be downloaded here. It seems LFILTERIO don't work - clear export file for Layer Filter and Layer States. Do you really need to export Layer Filters or may be it is Layer States? Most of people don't like Layer Filters, and there is plenty of routines to kill it at all. But i don't hear about export/import Layer Filters. Aug 10, 2015  You can create group filter in AutoCAD Layer Properties Manager. To create a group filter, select All in the filters list. Click New Group Filter icon. Rename the group filter to describe what layers are in the group. Adding layers to Group Filter. To add layers to this group, select the layers that you want to add then drag and drop them to the group.

When a layer filter is selected in the Filters panel of the Layer Properties Manager, only the layers that match the properties specified in the filter are displayed in the layer list. Filtering layers reduces a long list of layers to only those that are currently relevant.

List of Options

The following options are displayed.

Filter Name

Displays the name of the layer properties filter.

Filter Definition

Displays the properties of layers that determine which layers are listed. You can click to specify one or more properties to define the filter. All the properties specified on a single line in the filter definition must be true to display a layer name (a logical AND). Subsequent lines in the filter definition each specify alternative criteria (a logical OR).

Here is an example:

This filter has been named Mechanical, and the filter definition includes the following criteria:

• The layer name must contain the letters 'mech', and be turned on, and be thawed, or . . .
• The layer must be locked and its color must be red.
