Layer properties

Hi All,

I work on Autocad Map 3D 2008.

If I click on a map having various layers,I want it displayed in the layer window at top?How do I get it?

In this case I can go to properies and get the layer.But is there any command to get it directly?

Thanks,

Is your Layers toolbar visible at the top of Acad?

Hi Joe,

Yes layers toolbar is visible at top....

Maybe I'm misunderstanding your question, but when you click on an item, the layers toolbar should display the layer the item resides on. Of course you could always use the LIST command to tell you the layer of the item also.

Did this help you?

Hi,

I mean the Layer Property Manager which is on the top of the autocad screen...it shows only current layer.Is there an option that if I click on any other object,it will show the layer of that object?

Thanks,

In my system, if I click on an item, the layers toolbar DOES show the layer that the item is on. I have attached a quick test drawing for you to see if yours reacts the same.

The current layer is "0". If you select the red circle, the layers toolbar should display layer "Test" (the layer that the circle "lives" on).

Try it and let me know.

Maybe you have a layer filter set in Layer Manager Properties. Open that and set the layer filter to All and try again.

A previous thread said to type PICKFIRST and change the variable to 1.

Give that a try! I think that may do it!

Hi Joe & Kent,

Thanks...The last option of pickfirst worked out....

Thanks again as it saves a lot of time fo rme rather than checking eah layer in properties box....

Have A Good Day!!
