When entering the HATCH command on a specific layer that you want to HATCH; the active layer reverts to another layer; you will find that this layer is defined in the HPLAYER command. You will need to set this to "." to ensure that the current layer is used.

The Autodesk® Subscription Advantage Pack for AutoCAD® 2010 includes a new set of TimeSaver Tools to help you work faster. You can now more easily select and work with objects when editing drawings to help streamline workflows. Several TimeSaver Tools were top AUGI wish-list requests.

New TimeSaver Tools include:

Hide and isolate objects—Turn objects on and off regardless of layer to save time in tracking objects across layers and quickly show or hide objects as needed.
Select similar—Select objects with similar properties, such as layer or linetype, or blocks and xrefs with the same names.
Create selected—Create a new object for your drawing by matching the type and properties of another selected object.
Hatch to back—Streamline the process of working with hatches by easily selecting hatches and then sending them to the back of the drawing.

When you have transparent properties assigned to objects; these objects will not be printed as displayed unless you have the 'Print Transparency' option ticked. Please note this is not a default.

Displays a dialog box with a list of all layers in the drawing. For drawings with a large number of layers, you can filter the list of layers that are displayed in the dialog box.Use this command to review the objects on each layer and to purge unreferenced layers.

By default, the effect is temporary and layers are restored when you close the dialog box.

The System Variable MIRRTEXT controls how texts are mirrored. The default Value 0, mirrors the location of the texts, but it does not actually mirrors their orientation. If you set the value of MIRRTEXT to 1, then you will be able to Mirror the Text or Mtext as if it was any other object, Block, etc.
