Recently I posted about SHX Fonts and an error about too many unknown fonts. It was solved by the WBLOCK command. But I had to re-create my named filter layers.
Is there a way to save the created named filter layers?
Thanks

Were they in use when you wblocked the file?

Hi Joseph,
from the helpfile as I don't use layer filters much:
So basically I think you must have objects on the layers in the filter when you run wblock.....If you use WBLOCK to create a new drawing from the current drawing, saved layer states are preserved only if you specify Entire Drawing as the source in the Write Block dialog box (equivalent to -wblock /* on the command line). These saved layer states will refer only to layers that contain objects.

Nah, I read up on that earlier and I was hoping to find my answer there...but when I dug a little deeper I found this in the help file:
So the Layer States aren't the filters that I created...Saves state and properties settings of the layers in a drawing under a specified layer state name. When saving a layer state, you specify which layer settings are affected when the layer state is later restored.
New Layer State Name
Specifies a name for the new layer state to be saved.
Layer States
Specifies the layer states settings that are to be saved in the layer state: On/Off, Frozen/Thawed, Locked/Unlocked, Plot/No Plot, New VP Frozen/Thawed.
Layer Properties
Specifies the layer properties settings that are to be saved in the layer state: Color, Linetype, Lineweight, and Plot Style.
But thanks for the reply
P.S. I also found this:
And I did do just that (Entire Drawing as the source). And I lost the layer filters.If you use WBLOCK to create a new drawing from the current drawing, saved layer states are preserved only if you specify Entire Drawing as the source in the Write Block dialog box (equivalent to -wblock /* on the command line). These saved layer states will refer only to layers that contain objects.

You must have existing blocks on those layers on the sheet when you wblock....right?Originally Posted by malik641

Yeah, but whether it be blocks or a line....the layer state would be saved...as it was. From what I gather layer states are not filters created in the layer manager.
Hmm....
