Layer Rules with ModelCheck

Clive Tucker

New member
Is it possible to configure ModelCheck to assign layer rules to existing layers in legacy models, and if so how?

I have configured modelCheck to create our "standard layers" and assign the existing features to those layers, but the layers do not have any rules assigned to them so any new featuers created do not automatically go to their respective layers. We are using WF3.

Although I have seen much on this topic, I have not come across a specific answer to this.

Thnx
Clive
 
I want to invoke this topic again.

I tiy to set upt my MC to add missing layer within appropriate rules
 
As best I know MC just doesn't do that.

About the best way to bulk add layer rules is to create them in the layers of the top assembly and use the "extend rules" function to push those rules to all the submodels.

"Extend Rules" will, in submodels:
<ul>[*]Create duplicates of the selected assembly layer in all submodels[*]add the same layer rules to the newly created layers.[*]When the layer already exists in a submodel, the rule will be added to it as well. Items already on the layer will remain.[/list]
It is possible to create a mapkey that will automate the entire process and typically takes less time to run than the assembly took to retrieve from scratch.
