How can you move AutoCAD objects to another layer? There are several ways to do it. Let’s see 3 of them.

Do you need your reference files to have different properties in your master file? Different color, line type, thickness, etc? See how you can do it here.

Do you want to explode block and set properties for exploded objects? Not only inherit all properties from their parent, you can set layer, color etc with this tool!

Do you want to keep block layer after you explode it? Explode by nature will bring objects back to their original layer. Not where the block is placed. So how you can keep them to block’s layer?

Do you want to plot AutoCAD drawings to PDF, and still have the layer information? If you are wondering how to do it, follow these steps.

The 2nd task to work with AutoCAD better. Choose correct template to start. Add layers. You also need to work with layer states and layer filter.
