of new layers when opening the drawing, when loading, reloading, or attaching
xrefs, or when restoring a layer state. To make changes to these settings, you
can either use the system variables or the Layer Settings dialog box.
When layer notification is turned on, an Unreconciled New Layers icon displays
on the status bar.
At that time, you can choose to view the new layers by right-clicking the icon
and clicking the View Unreconciled New Layers link from the menu. When
you click the link, the Layer Properties Manager opens, and the Unreconciled
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 504 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.
