Additional Information

Commas are not allowed when creating AutoCAD layers. Entering a comma when naming an AutoCAD layer actually causes the software to create a new layer. Work Around: Do not use the following characters in the “LAYER” Reserved CAD field: < > / \ “ : ; ? * | = ‘,

Workaround

Remove commas from the field with field name LAYER or create another text/ string field with field name other than LAYER and keep the alias field name as LAYER.
