AutoCAD Mechanical commands create standard parts and features on these layers. Standard part layers: Layers AM_0N through AM_12N.Almost all geometry is created on working layers. Working layers: Layers AM_0 through AM_12.The names of these layers begin with “AM_”, followed by a number or a phrase as described below. Additionally, the AMLAYER command shows you what objects are created on each layer.ĪutoCAD Mechanical ships with 31 layer definitions, which have been assigned to different objects by default. Similar to how the LAYER command enables you to change the properties of a layer, the AMLAYER command enables you to change the properties of mechanical layers and layer definitions. The AMLAYER command enables you to see a list of mechanical layers as well as layer definitions. The layers that AutoCAD Mechanical creates on the fly are called mechanical layers. Settings such as layer color, line weight, and line type are taken from a set of pre-configured settings that are referred to as layer definitions. If the layer doesn’t exist, the command automatically creates the layer. Regardless of what layer is set current, these commands create geometry/objects only on the predefined layer. There are some significant differences between how you manage layers in AutoCAD and AutoCAD Mechanical.ĪutoCAD Mechanical commands, using a feature that is known as Automatic Property Management, are pre-configured to create objects on specific layers. Save time with commands that create mechanical layers-so you don’t have to do it manually. However, if you explode the hole before you add the plate to the library, the hole is not ignored.
If you add the plate to a custom content library, the hole is ignored. However, if you explode them beforehand, they are not ignored.įor example, consider a drawing of a plate with a hole, where the hole was inserted from the standard part library.
If the selection set you are adding as a new item contains parts or features inserted from a content library, they are ignored. For example, a steel shape with chamfered edges. The last method lets you create an item that is a variation of an existing standard part or feature. The first 4 methods enable you to create items that do not exist in the standard part content library. By copying an item from a standard part library.By adding a block to the content library.
