For a little background - this is coming out of us currently doing some new employee training, and dealing with CADD standards. Getting people to draw stuff on the right layers... Many years ago, we had a rather idiot proof system when we were on Microstation. We had a button to draw sidewalk. A button to draw header, etc. I thought about adding a bunch of buttons that did this, but liked the idea of it being integrated with the Refnotes.

As an added thought, when you go to the 'layer' pull down, as an option, it could give you a list of standard layers that may not already be in the drawing. In that case, we could add several standard items to our refnotes with CADD standard layers, then make it a template. The layer wouldn't already have to be in the drawing, it would be added when the refnote item was placed.

Well, we already have our Layer States tool, I'd say the proper thing to do would be to just customize those, and load your desired layers very quickly.
