Print Layers

Our Print Layers tool automatically creates a quick reference to the layers in use within your current DWG drawing set.

Print Layers Overview

Open our Print Layers tool:

 

F/X Admin ribbon, Print Layers flyout

 

F/X Admin pull-down menu

or type PRINTLAYERS in the Command line

You'll see the following message: This will create additional layout tabs in this drawing listing all active layers. Continue?

 

Click Yes to generate your output of printed layers.

The tool will automatically create a Paper Space layout tab in your drawing, named Layers, that lists the layers currently in use, along with the names, colors, linetypes, lineweights, and plotting status of each layer. You can then print these layouts with your plot style for a quick visual reference of how each layer will appear on an exported PDF or printed sheet of paper.

Here's an example of an output in Paper Space from our Print Layers tool, where the Layers tab lists all layers used in the current draeing, along with their linetype, color, nonplot status, and, if applicable, lineweight.
