insight design Posted June 22, 2011 Share Posted June 22, 2011 Hello, I'm using Autocad 2011 and I have a strange problem... When I'm working in a viewport in paper space, I isolate a layer, work on it, then unisolate it, CAD will automatically turn off (with the lightbulb) all the other layers that I'm not using in that current viewport. This means that every time I'm done editing a certain viewport, I have to go back to my model space, and turn back on all the rest of the layers in my drawing (with the lightbulb) so I can work in a different viewport with different layers. Is this just a bug in my version? or is there some way to stop this? It's getting really irritating! haha Thanks K Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SLW210 Posted June 22, 2011 Share Posted June 22, 2011 Are you working in paper space or are you working in model space through a paper space viewport? I do not have any problems with isolating and unisolating layers. What commands are you using? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
insight design Posted June 22, 2011 Author Share Posted June 22, 2011 I'm working in model space through a paper space viewport. I'm just using the button that says "isolate" (layiso) and "unisolate" (layuniso) I've never had this problem either but I just got a new computer and version of CAD so maybe it's just a bug with mine only? I hope not though, it's a rather unfortunately large bug to have! Thanks! K Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SLW210 Posted June 22, 2011 Share Posted June 22, 2011 Can you post a portion of the drawing or some screen shots? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
insight design Posted June 22, 2011 Author Share Posted June 22, 2011 Ive attached 3 screen shots. 1. showing what my model space usually looks like- lots of layers 2. the "before layiso" screen shot 3. the "after layiso" screen shot. I'm not sure if this will help you at all though. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BIGAL Posted June 23, 2011 Share Posted June 23, 2011 Seen this happening sometimes your not alone, just got used to going to model space to avoid the problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
