JamyB Posted May 12, 2010 Share Posted May 12, 2010 I've name my layout tab 'LOCKER' for a project, and it seems to have locked the layout (I doubt its because I named it that, but thats the case). I thought it was a bug in the file, but then I've tried it on another drawing and it did the same. Then I tried it on a new dwg and it did nothing. Once I named LOCKER, I cant rename it, cant delete it, cant start new layout, and once I'm in Model space or another layout tab I cant go back to my 'locker' layout. The only thing that works is copying the layout and renaming it. Ive tried opening it on a different computer, same result. Is this a bug?help.

ReMark Posted May 12, 2010 Share Posted May 12, 2010 I tried to duplicate your problem using 2010 but was unable to do so. I created a layout, renamed it to LOCKER. I could delete it or rename it with no problem. I could also create another layout. I could move between the layout and model space at will. Is your version of 2008 current with all service packs?

Dana W Posted May 13, 2010 Share Posted May 13, 2010 I tried it in all upper case and lower case in my 2009. After several tries, I could not re-create the issue. That's more than locked, it's isolated. Somebody will have an idea what's up soon. I sure don't. Maybe the file is just corrupted. Try and restore a backup from before you named the layout. It's a good thing you didn't name it Asteroid Collision or something. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReMark Posted May 13, 2010 Share Posted May 13, 2010 If you can open the file try running an Audit on it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryder76 Posted May 13, 2010 Share Posted May 13, 2010 I have ACAD 2008 and was not able to reproduce the problem. It probably is a corrupted file. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamyB Posted May 14, 2010 Author Share Posted May 14, 2010 It seems Audit solve all my problems lately. I got the backup from the previous day, and I could rename the layout anything and it would isolate it. I did the audit and it seems to have fixed it. Then I did the audit on the file with the 'locker' layout tab and deleted it by itself. Thanks y'all! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
