Content Editor Layer Definitions (AutoCAD Mechanical Toolset)

List of pre-defined layers and the objects assigned to that layer.

Layer Definition
AMC_Contour

Maps to Objects: Contour 1; Contour 2; Contour 3; Contour 4

AMC_Centerline

Maps to Objects: Centerline; Centerline, Narrow; Hole Circle; Hole Circle, Narrow; Reference Circle for Gear Cogwheels; Reference Circle for Gear Cogwheels, Narrow

AMC_Break_Line

Maps to Objects: Break Line Short; Break Out Line

AMC_Thread

Maps to Object: Thread Line

AMC_Hidden

Maps to Objects: Hidden Line; Hidden Line, narrow

AMC_Construction

Maps to Object: Construction Line

AMC_Section_Line

Maps to Object: Section/Viewing Plane Line

AMC_Contour_BHII :Layer reserved to draw contours that make underlying and overlapping objects invisible in a hide situation.

For example, if you place the contour of a screw on AMC_Contour_BHII layer in Content Editor, when the screw is inserted in a drawing, underlying and overlapping objects such as lines or hatches are hidden by the contour of the screw.

AMC_Contour_BHIU Layer reserved to draw contours that make underlying objects invisible, and leave overlapping objects unchanged during a hide situation.

For example, if you place the contour of a hole on AMC_Contour_BHIU layer in Content Editor, when the hole is inserted in a drawing, underlying objects such as lines or hatches are hidden by the contour of the hole. Overlapping objects remain visible.

AMC_Dimension

Maps to Object: Dimension/Extension Line

AMC_Text_Medium

Maps to Object: Text Medium

AMC_Contour_BHII_Invisible

For example, if you place the contour of a screw on AMC_Contour_BHII_Invisible layer in Content Editor, when the screw is inserted in a drawing, underlying and overlapping objects such as lines or hatches are invisible, as is the contour of the screw.

AMC_Contour_BHIU_Invisible

For example, if you place the contour of a hole on AMC_Contour_BHIU_Invisible layer in Content Editor, when the hole is inserted in a drawing, underlying objects such as lines and hatches and the contour of the hole is invisible. Overlapping objects remain visible.
