Unreconciled Layers, you know, that pesky notification bubble that you close as soon as you open a DWG file, are very important and can save you a lot of time, effort, and work. Many AutoCAD users simply ignore the notification and move on. I suggest that you stop this practice and start using the notifications to help you out.
This process has saved me a lot of time on many projects. But in order for it to work you have to make sure all of your layers have been reconciled beforehand; otherwise you will get the notification every time you open the DWG and you will not get any type of benefit from it at all.
I suggest that you either use it or disable it. Here are some system variables that will help you control how the Unreconciled Layer notification behaves.
- LAYERNOTIFY - Specifies when an alert displays when unreconciled new layers are found.
- LAYEREVAL - Specifies whether the layer list is evaluated for new layers when added to the drawing or to attached xrefs.
- LAYEREVALCTL - Controls the overall Unreconciled New Layer filter list in Layer Properties Manager which is evaluated for new layers.
This little bubble can be very helpful to you or it can just get in your way. I suggest you use it. But if you aren't going to use it then turn it off completely. That way you won't have to close the bubble every time you see it.
