Layer Manager

[Guest JoeRoscia]

I have a drawing where I need to open the layer manager to turn on a layer in a view port but cannot get to that particular column. As you look across the top of the layer manager I can see all the headings of each column beginning with "Name", "Status", "On" and so forth. The last column heading I see is "Description" but I need to go even further to the right to get to the column I need to be at but can't get there. There is no scroll button on the bottom of the layer manager which would allow me to do that.

 

Any ideas?

Is it possible that the column you need is hidden?

Right click on any column header in the layer manager and choose "Customize..."

Thats a great little tip but the "VP Freeze" Column is not even an option and that is the one I need...

That's strange, just checked this in Vanilla 2011 and those columns aren't listed. Must be something in C3D

 

Not sure if this works in the Layer Palette, but in the dialog (ClassicLayer / LayerDlgMode) you can click-n-drag the column headings to rearrange them.

Oh! Those are visible only if you're inside a viewport. What a fool I am!

Well actually you just need to be in a layout tab.

Just a note. That dialog box was from AutoCAD. Note the little "A" in the UL corner.

Here is a clip from C3D for comparison.
