I created this macro to set the construction depth ending up in 2D mode even if I started out in 3d. If I run this macro while I'm in 2d, I end up back in 2d. If I run it in 3d I end up in 3d. what can I do to get what I want. I tried looking in your book. I don't quite understand how to control 2d-3d mode.

// Begin KXL Record

// This kxl is intended to be a Macro Script

MASKCLEAR

// (0xAA54) Set the construction depth

MASKENTITY 0, 1, 41, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 30, 27, 41, 9, 10, 40

// (0xAA32) Pause KXL recording

// Paused for user input

CLEAR xp, yp, zp, adp

DOUBLE xp, yp, zp

GETPOS "Indicate position at new depth", 1

if (@error != 0)

exit

xp = @xworld

yp = @yworld

zp = @zworld

DOUBLE adp[3] = { @xworld, @yworld, @zworld }

SET DEPTH, @zcplane + @depth

MASKCLEAR

// (0xAA32) Pause KXL recording

// Regular recording resumed

// End KXL Record

Thanks In advance

When I run this kxl, I still have to "Select all.Display>All. How do I get around that? Is there a way to export the layout name as the "Save As"?

Here's what I have, Thanks to Ken H

CLEAR hlayAll, nlayouts
int nlayouts, K
HLayout hlayAll[0]
K=0

:Start
 GetLayouts hlayAll
 nlayouts=sizeof (hlayAll)

:Loop
 IF (K> nlayouts)
  Goto Done
 LoadLayout hlayAll[K]
 Auto
// What ever you place here will be done for each layout

  Callfunc (0xAAE3) //Export DWG

//End of action
 K=K+1
 If (K< nlayouts)
  Goto Loop

Done
 Pause "Finished"

Sorry I didn't respond sooner. Unfortunately that won't work. The way or system is set up our tool room requires individual files containing only the 2d info for one detail. An example would be the file for detail 27 only has the 2d info for that detail. That way the Die makers, helpers or machinists can easily call up the detail they are working on to analyze. Any 3d stuff is sent to the tool room CAM programmers.

Now that version 6 is out, is it now possible?
