I have an alias command that for years, I've used to change the active layer to layer Elec, and to then change the current linetype, line color, and spacing to the appropriate settings. I recently noticed that it is not changing the active layer. I always thought that it did, but I am beginning to wonder if I've been presetting the layer and not thinking about it.
[elec]
comment=Electric line on 1/4" plan
alias=^:^F3^F3^Elec^$^;^S7^center^$^S5^4^$^S7^S1^S0^
The dead phase is from the colon to the semi-colon. I've also substituted the letter "L" for the colon and the initial F3. I make sure that I have a layer Elec in the drawing, but if I just use the first phase for the full string, I receive a Layer not found message.
If I manually follow those steps, it all works as it should.
Anybody have any idea of where this really simple series is messed up?
Thanks much,
