When laying out new elements in WaterCAD/GEMS for AutoCAD, why do elements automatically go to certain layers instead of going to the current layer?
Specialists working in construction and architecture often use AutoCAD in their work process, and this program is truly irreplaceable. If you are not familiar with AutoCAD, but you need this program for work, I highly recommend studying the AutoCAD tutorial for beginners right here. This is what will help you form a base and start working with this software.
In version 7, there was a tool called “Element Properties” which could be uses to control which layer certain WaterCAD elements were automatically sent to. But this tool is no longer available in V8/V8i. If the model was created in version 7 and then opened in V8, the element properties designations may be retained. To resolve this, you can start a new drawing, import WaterCAD model, re-set all the layers and other AutoCAD tools. It is recommended to lay out all the WaterCAD elements in layer 0.
