Summary
In the Layer Translator, you specify the layers in the current drawing that you
want to translate, and the layers to translate them to.
List of Options
The following options are displayed.
Translate From
Specifies the layers to be translated in the current drawing. You can specify
layers by selecting layers in the Translate From list or by supplying a selection
filter.
The color of the icon preceding the layer name indicates whether or not the
layer is referenced in the drawing. A dark icon indicates that the layer is
referenced; a white icon indicates the layer is unreferenced. Unreferenced
layers can be deleted from the drawing by right-clicking in the Translate From
list and choosing Purge Layers.
Selection Filter
Specifies layers to be selected in the Translate From list, using a naming pattern
that can include wild-cards. For a list of valid wild-cards, see the table in “Filter
and Sort the List of Layers” in the User's Guide. The layers identified by the
selection filter are selected in addition to any layers previously selected.
Select
Selects the layers specified in Selection Filter.
