ReMark Posted March 11, 2015 Share Posted March 11, 2015 Here is something simple you can try. Save your drawing. Close AutoCAD. Wait 20 seconds and reopen it. Test using the drawing you just saved or a new drawing. What happens? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rkent Posted March 11, 2015 Share Posted March 11, 2015 It is somewhat unclear to me what the issue is. You are saying that instead of the drop down list of layers the full layer manager is opening? You say "the layer manager is coming up on the right hand side", can you clarify what is happening? Matchprop - the command doesn't start immediately on the first pick, or it starts but then doesn't register the first pick, or...? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edwinprakoso Posted March 12, 2015 Share Posted March 12, 2015 So you are trying to change the object layer by selecting it and change it from layer drop down list? You select object, but the layer list doesn't change to object layer. And when you try to change the layer the object layer doesn't change? Something might be broken. I had this problem once because I run a registry cleaner app. Repairing AutoCAD installation should be able to fix it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobDraw Posted March 12, 2015 Share Posted March 12, 2015 Can you change the layer using the properties box (Ctrl+1)? IMHO, it is a mistake not drawing things on the correct layer as you go. You think you are saving time but you just waste that saved time when you go back to assign the correct layers, plus you may miss something.

SLW210 Posted March 12, 2015 Share Posted March 12, 2015 Seems to me to be as mentioned by edwinprakoso, sounds like you need to run a repair on the installation. I moved your thread to the AutoCAD Bugs, Error Messages & Quirks Forum. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
