    Default Locked Layers

    Registered forum members do not see this ad.

    Is there a command or way to unlock all locked layers in a drawing at once, or can you only do them one by one?

    Cheers

    Sussed it. Didn't think of highlighting the layers in Layer Manager and doing it that way.

    or you can give * as the layer name and all will be done.

    All depending on how quickly you can type, the following sequence will unlock all layers.

    -la (enter)
    u (enter)
    * (enter)
    (enter)

    You could make a toolbar button or command on a pallet with a macro like this if you use it often. :

    ^C^C(COMMAND "LAYER" "u" "*" "")
    So many commands, so little time....

    or, if someone is using lt (which doesn't have lisp commands)...

    -la;u;*;;

    in the macro...

    To do this I go into the layer properties manager and use Ctrl. + A (select all; all of the layers should now be selected) and click on anyone of the little locked symbols. All the layers should now be unlocked.
