New Layers filter is automatically selected. All new layers that have been added
to the drawing or attached xrefs are displayed in the list view.
The new layers are unreconciled because they have not yet been reviewed. The
process of manually marking them as reconciled removes them from the
Unreconciled New Layers list. (See Reconcile New Layers on page 342 for more
information.) Until you reconcile the layers, the notification bubble will
display each time the command that triggered the notification is used.
By using the LAYERNOTIFY system variable or the Layer Settings dialog box,
you can turn off layer notification but still have the layer list evaluated for
new layers. Although the notification bubble does not display, you can still
check for new layers by right-clicking the alert icon on the status bar. From
the shortcut menu, click the View Unreconciled New Layers option.
New Layer Notification for Plotting
When the PLOT command is set to display new layer notification in the Layer
Settings dialog box, a dialog box is displayed instead of an icon on the status
bar. A message informs you that there are new layers in the drawing since the
layer list was last checked for new layers. Click Yes in the dialog box to view
the new layer list in the Layer Properties Manager before plotting.
Saving a Template (DWT) File
When saving a drawing as a template (DWT) file, you can choose to save the
layers in the drawing as unreconciled or reconciled in the Template Options
dialog box. By default, all layers are saved as unreconciled, so that when a
new drawing is started using the template, a layer baseline is not yet created
until the drawing is first saved as a DWG file.
