Layer Manager Problem

[bwandel]

All of a sudden my layer Properties manager will not open. It looks like it is trying but nothing happens. It will not quit trying until I hit escape. The quick layer pull down works fine. Please help, I'm dead in the water.

What were you tinkering with prior to this happening? Making edits to the CUI?

I wasn't playing in the setting at all, but apparently I did something without knowing.

Then try this. Save your drawing. Close AutoCAD. Shut off your computer. Sing the national anthem (just the first verse). Turn on your computer. Start up AutoCAD. Load a drawing. Try Layer Properties Manager again. What happens?

Maybe it is off screen. Start CUI, pick current Workspace, over on right pick palettes, now pick Layer Properties, set location from floating to left, apply, close, see if it works now.

Yes. LAYER, typed in at the command line, will bring up the Layer Properties Manager.

Thanks for all the suggestions, none seem to be helping. I think I'm going to reinstall the program. I would have rather found out the problem in case it happens again, but I have some dead lines that have to be met.

 

Thanks again,

Before doing a reinstall I would recommend trying the REPAIR option first.

If you go the reinstall route bear in mind that AutoDesk has a recommended procedure for removing products to ensure a clean install.

Thanks for the tips. I'm still looking for an answer on this. I have a feeling it will show up again.
