2015 - Layer Properties Manager losing selection...

[darawork]

Hi all,

Upon selecting several layers in the Layer Properties Manager, then trying to say... freeze the selected layers, THEN turn the selected layers off, the Layer Properties Manager will lose the previous selection before you can do the second icon press. This necessitates the user to having to select the entire layer selection all over again. It was not like this in previous versions.

Can someone with AutoCad 2015 check to see if this is the case with their installation?

Thanks guys.

Unfortunately, I do not have that information in a handy Excel file like I do what software is installed on everyone's machines.

I do know that more often then not, not one laptop or desktop has the same configuration, which means 15 different graphics cards!

I am not in charge of ordering new machines, that lies with one of the owners who likes things quick and often times, cheap, so he gets what is available.

Horrible practice, I know, believe me, I know!

Anyway, I hate to be chalking all of these glitches up to graphic card issues.  With all the new features and more then likely new system settings, I want to assume it is some sort of setting first.

Don't know if this will be any help or not but in C3D 2012 I see this behavior only when LAYERDLGMODE=1 & using the Unreconciled Layers filter. I have not seen this behavior any other time.

I was just going to post this!  I had my laptop user set her layerdlgmode to 1 and it solved her problem.  We had made the change to 0 with 2014 because the layer list was not only showing layers in an xref when that was selected, we saw all the layers, all the time.

This may be the solution then?

Same thing happens in 2015LT. I'm here looking for a solution.

Changed layerdlgmode to 0, problem still exists.

Has anyone got to the bottom of this yet or is it a bug that Autodesk have not fixed yet?  I have the same issue, regardless of layer filters, exactly as per Nestly2's video.

I have changed my LAYERDLGMODE to 0 and it mostly seems to have fixed it but not always.

AutoCAD 2015 Service Pack 2 fixed the problem for me.

Also fixed here with AutoCAD2015 SP2
