Hi Cameron,
The short answer is yes, but I will have Amanda Berry fill you in with all the details tomorrow morning.

Thanks,

Yes, Land F/X Layer States (saved to those .lay files under LandFX\layers\), can recall the same layer with the same details (name, colour, lineweight, linetype, plot status) for every project it's brought into.

Here's our documentation page on this: Layer States.

Note that layer states are not dynamic, if this is what you meant by having it on a project specific basis. What is the exact scenario you're trying to accomplish with the layers being linked to the base, so I know how best to answer that part of your question? Land F/X layer states do not work like AutoCAD Layer States. Those just change the properties of layers, but don't add or manage them otherwise. Ours work more like the Design Centre, but faster and already organized into types of layers.

I'll ask around tomorrow, but I'm not familiar with a .lst file type in order to speak to that. Did you mean a different file type?

Cameron,

I'll assume that like us, you're working with an engineer that sends yo updates and rather than going through the updated bases every time you get them you just want an easy and fast way to have them conform to your color/pen settings. If so, here's how we do it:
After saving the layer states as Amanda suggests above, you can open a new drawing and just be sure to import the layer state BEFORE you bring the revised base as an exploded block. Then just saveas and step on the original revised civil or architectural base (or hopefully a copy of the originally transmitted drawing). Then your revised base will have all of the imported layers set to the correct pen settings.

I hope that this helps.

Before using LandFX layer states we used to set up the layers the way that we liked and then if we had an updated base, we would have to erase all and then pick up the above at the insert exploded drawing step. Using LandFX layer states is much faster and easier to use.
