To Set up the Notification for New Layers

Use this procedure to be notified when new layers are introduced into the drawing or any xrefs referenced to it.

1. If necessary, open the Layer Properties Manager by clicking Home tabLayers panelLayer Properties.
2. Click (Settings).
   
3. To set up the new layers notification in the drawing, select Evaluate new layers added to the drawing.
4. Determine if you want to be notified only of new layers added to xrefed drawings, or of new layers in xrefed drawings and in the current drawing:

   To be notified only of new layers in xref drawings, click Evaluate new xref layers only.

   To be notified of new layers in xref drawings and in the current drawing, click Evaluate all new layers.

5. Click Notify when new layers are present to define the actions that should trigger an evaluation for new layers. Each time one of the specified actions is performed in the drawing, a comparison is made between the last time a specified action was performed (the layer baseline) and the present time. If new layers have been added in the meantime, the new layers notification is displayed.

   In new drawings, the layer baseline is created when the drawing is saved or plotted for the first time. For example, when layers are added to a new drawing, and then it is saved, the layer baseline is created. Layers that have been added since the drawing was saved are considered new unreconciled layers.

   • Open: Checks for new layers on opening the drawing.
   • Attach/Reload Xrefs: Checks for new layers when an xref is attached or reloaded.
   • Restore Layer state: Checks for new layers when you restore a saved layer state.
   • Save: Checks for new layers when the drawing is saved.
   • Insert: Checks for new layers when a block is inserted.
6. Click Display alert for plot when new layers are present to check for new layers when plotting a drawing.
