minnie Posted December 9, 2008 Share Posted December 9, 2008 I opened a drawing this morning that was sent to me by another office. I tried to open the layer property manager and it gave me a message that there were more layer filters than layers and that I should delete some of the filters. I said ok, but the property manager dialog box never opened. Now I can't open the layer property manager dialog box in any of my drawings. Any suggestions? Thanks!

samsami Posted January 10, 2012 Share Posted January 10, 2012 I'm not exactly sure if this is related ... but i use LMAN command to automatically control layer properties and to turn certain layers on/off. Until today, my lman command would list all my saved layer states in a separate dialog window. Now, it basically gives me the same options, the same saved layer states, but it's all on the command line, and I have to cycle through keyboard commands, where before I could just point and click on the dialog box, and it would know if i wanted to restore a state, save a state, etc... I've tried resizing my window and/or the "move" technique, but no luck... the window is definitely not popping up anymore. Is there a toggle switch for this? I've tried un/reinstalling autocad and the express tools... still no luck. please help! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

samsami Posted January 11, 2012 Share Posted January 11, 2012 Set FILEDIA=1. Thanks for your response... I wish I'd seen it sooner, as I re-uninstalled and installed the software and seems to be working fine. It'd never happened before, dunno what triggered it, but at least I know what to do if it happens again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReMark Posted January 11, 2012 Share Posted January 11, 2012 It may have been triggered by a poorly written lisp routine that failed to reset system variables to their original values. FYI: You should never resort to uninstalling/reinstalling AutoCAD as your first response to a problem. Try to solve the main problem first. If that fails, try the REPAIR option next. If that fails THEN do an uninstall/reinstall. If you had one flat tire would you immediately take all the tires off your car and replace them? I think not.

samsami Posted January 11, 2012 Share Posted January 11, 2012 Wasn't exactly my first response... definitely not an ideal solution as it washes away any chance of pinpointing the problem. But, I was in a rush and not getting anywhere; had to make an executive decision. Live and learn. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
imanufan2015 Posted May 31, 2015 Share Posted May 31, 2015 When I try to open my Layer manager in ACAD 2007LT I get a fatal error message and it closes me down. Can anyone help me?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BIGAL Posted June 1, 2015 Share Posted June 1, 2015 Did you create the dwg or was it from external software ? Sometimes a layer name can cause problems, try RENAME Layer and look for an odd named layer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
