default layer

[BruceKC]

I can't figure out how to delete layers that were obviously imported into the template (by accident) from autocad and are now "default layers" in the template.  Can't see them, so can't delete them.

Use ALDO.  BTW if the little red plus sign is there then it is actually being used.

Thanks, it's just the white wrench, so it's not being used.  But I have looked through all the default settings and can't find that layer in use or assigned to anything.

Check your cad blocks.  Maybe when you imported the cad it had some blocks that were imported that are using the layer.  They can still be in the cad block management dialog even when they are not anywhere in the plan.

 

If you still can't find it, then you should probably post the plan to see if someone is willing to help you look.

You can sometimes run into this Issue if someone Renames a System Default Layer ( White Wrench ) instead of copying it to make a new Layer, in which case they can be a bear to delete in my experience.
