Video showing how to create themed layers in AutoCAD. 1) Open the CSM Administration module and select the standards database. 2) In the Standards Explorer window, in the Survey discipline, click on the Layers node to display the layer groups. 3) Right-click on the group containing the survey contour layers. Click Copy Layer Group. 4) Expand the Civil discipline tree. Right-click on the main Layer node and then click Paste Layer Group. 5) On the Layers tab, select the Civil discipline. 6) Set the current layer group to the name of the group you copied in step 3. 7) The component "V" will now show up in the first category. 8) Right mouse click on the "V" component and click Hide Layer Component(s). 9) Select the first option in the Hidden Component Options dialog and click Ok. The component text color will turn blue. These layers are not for creation in the Civil discipline, but can still be created in the Survey discipline. 10) Open the Assign Layer Properties dialog, 11) Set the layer property group to current. 12) Change the properties of the newly generated "V-TOPO-*" layers to plot screened at 50%. 13) Click Build the Complete Layer List before you exit the Administration module so that your new layers will be available to your end users. CSM will prompt you if you forget, so no worries if you skip this step. 14) Finally, test it out within AutoCAD by externally referencing the desired contour drawing . On the CSM menu, click Reset Colors/Linetypes/Lineweights. You will be prompted to select the controlling discipline if the drawing contains layers that are duplicated within your standards database.
