    Layers don't lock on Layer Isolate AutoCAD Electrical 2011

    When I use Layer Isolate to isolate a layer and then try to window around it to change layers for example, any items that are in the window, isolated or not, are selected. Is there a system variable that can be set to make Layer Isolate work as it did in previous versions of AutoCAD Electrical where only isolated layers will be selected and the other layers will be frozen or locked?

     

    Thanks,

    Ken

    When you go into the layer isolate command, hit S for settings.  You can lock and fade the layers from there.
