Ray D Posted September 26, 2008 Share Posted September 26, 2008 I cant figure out what happened but the layer properties manager box does not open any more?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReMark Posted September 26, 2008 Share Posted September 26, 2008 Not open at all? How about via the command line? Does that not work as well? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
banana Posted November 27, 2008 Share Posted November 27, 2008 I'm experiencing the same problem as the OP. Layer Properties Manager will not open. ACAD will sit there, seemingly loading the LPM, but nothing happens. I eventually have to 'Esc' to continue. Get the same result from comand line "_layer" and clicking on the LPM button on the "Layers" toolbar. Any help would be great! Cheers.

lpseifert Posted November 27, 2008 Share Posted November 27, 2008 Maybe it's off screen... Start _layer, hit Alt+Spacebar, then M, then use your arrow keys to bring it back on screen (you may want to try it with a visible window to get the gist). or... Set a higher display resolution in Windows so you can see it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
banana Posted November 27, 2008 Share Posted November 27, 2008 Brilliant! The LPM box was way off screen. Thanks lpseifert! For anyone else that may have similar problem: I could not move the window into view using "Alt+Spacebar" then "m". However, "Alt+Spacebar" and then "s" will resize the window. just hold down a direction key (in my case I held the left arrow) and the window will appear. Thanks again lpseifert. Cheers!

Tiger Posted December 15, 2008 Share Posted December 15, 2008 I'll just add a note for the users here that use non-English versions of Windows programs - since this is a Windows fix and will work with any Windows application. In the combo alt+spacebar+M, the M stands for MOVE - so if the combo doesn't work for you, try a combo where the M is replaced with your native word for MOVE. I (Swedish) use F Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

happyspider Posted June 11, 2013 Share Posted June 11, 2013 THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU! i had the same problem - I'm (very) new to AutoCAD and taking a beginner's class, thought maybe it was just that i was using older version.
