Tiger Posted June 1, 2015 Share Posted June 1, 2015 Good morning good sirs and madams! I am asking for the assistans of the hive-mind that is CadTutor! Have any of you ever seen the icons in the Layer Manager in the image below? My google-fu has let me down, I can't find anything on it. Apparently (because I can't replicate in on my computer) the Layer Manager looks this way if he opens a new dwg from this particular template without having any other dwg open. If he has another dwg open, it looks normal. It doesn't matter how I open the template on my computer, it always looks normal here. Anyone seen this behaviour before?

RobDraw Posted June 1, 2015 Share Posted June 1, 2015 It looks like he may have the show filters in layer list option selected. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiger Posted June 1, 2015 Author Share Posted June 1, 2015 I suspected that it was something to do with filters - the icon hinted as much! What version is your image from Rob? I don't get the same icons that you do, I am wondering if those icons have changed over the years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobDraw Posted June 1, 2015 Share Posted June 1, 2015 I did not know the answer. The filter icon was what got me there. I'm on MEP 2014. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiger Posted June 1, 2015 Author Share Posted June 1, 2015 Hmm. Still weird then, in 2015 and 2016 I have these icons when I tick Show Filters ... so almost, but not exactly. This is annoying! It is not consistent, I can't replicate it on my computer (and now it has disappeared on the clients computer as well). But those icons look like real icons, which makes me think that is a setting somewhere that I can't find! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobDraw Posted June 1, 2015 Share Posted June 1, 2015 In the image in your first post, are those names the names of filters? I don't see any icons under status in your last post. Maybe it has to do with the state of individual layers in a particular filter? It sounds inconsistent. I would chalk it up to buggy icons. Until my recent computer upgrade, I would get glitches in the layer manager from time to time. That was over multiple versions and multiple computers. A restart usually fixed them. Our CAD manager has a solution for persistent buggy icons. I'll ask him about it when he gets in. I think it has something to do with the support paths.

Tiger Posted June 1, 2015 Author Share Posted June 1, 2015 No, no icons at all when I have the Layer Filters displayed in the list. I just looked at the original file, and the image in the first post are just of layers, no filters. It might be something about the status of the layers, I have had that thought as well. I just can't figure out what it would mean. I wish I had a slightly larger screen shot of the faulty list. Since it has disappeard on the clients computer as well, and I do think it is just a glitch - there really is no need right now to dig deeper. Some questions are just more annoying that others! Thank you for your time Rob! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobDraw Posted June 1, 2015 Share Posted June 1, 2015 I thought they were the filters because of the dash at the end. My image shows filters and layers. Post back if it persists. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
