Layer Properties Manager problems.

[GVR]

Hello
When i open some drawings i have a problem with the Layer Properties Manager.
I see the window of the Layer Properties manager but the inside is transparent. I can see the drawing through it.
I have to close the window and open it again to see all the layers.
A other problem is that the LPM displays not the same information as the "Layers"-Toolbar. New layers are visible in the toolbar and not in the LPM.
Or when layers are turnd on or off the information about that is not the same in the "Layers"-Toolbar and the LPM.
Or when layers according to the LPM are frosen in the viewport they are still visible. I have the "un-freeze" en "re-freeze" them to set the layer on frozen.

Regen all or recover dosn't work.

I'm using AutoCAD 2009 LT SP3 (the latest update).

Someone told me a while ago that it might be a microsoft .NET problem so i installed the latest .NET version and re-installed Autocad but unfortunately the problem still remains.

I hope someone has a solution because it starts to drive me crazy.

Already Thanks.

This happens occasionally, seemingly at random to me. A restart of the computer (and not just AutoCad) fixes it I have found.

Thanks Dink87522.
For this moment a restart fixed the problem. But tomorrow i will probably have this problem again.
My experience is that it happens very often. And not in all drawings, so it is in my opinion also a drawing problem and not a problem that happens with all drawings.

I hope someone has a more permanent solution.

Had the same problem using AutoCAD 2011. I decided it was a graphics-related issue and not a problem with any individual drawing.

But did you find a solution? If i read the topic you mention i don't think so.

No. Not because I didn't try. Rather, my power supply went south (along with a couple of other problems) and I used it as an opportunity to upgrade my system. I've worked on the same drawing using both AutoCAD 2010 and 2012 and have not been able to reproduce the problem so far.

What are your system specs?

Are you using Windows 7? AutoCAD 2011 has had a lot of strange quirks since I upgraded to Windows 7 (the CPU was upgraded at the same time), turning off all the extras in Windows 7 has helped. I had that problem in XP also, but I also had a crappy graphics card before the upgrade.

Note: My previous system, the one with the intermittent problem, had a 768MB nVidia gaming card in it. I suspect that was the culprit.

I work on windows XP.
PC: intel Cor 2 Duo, 2,2Ghz. 1Gb. Video: 128mb ATI Radeon X1300.

1Gb is a little to small i think. The swap-file is always something like 1,2Gb.

Video: 128mb ATI Radeon X1300 ....that's my guess.

P.S.
Set your Swap file to 2-3 times your RAM is pretty much the recommended amount, though if you are not using all the RAM to begin with the swap file is a mute point. Try to monitor the RAM usage when this happens to see if all your RAM is being used.
