I just loaded AutoCAD LT 2015 onto my computer yesterday. My layer properties manager is locked on the left side of my screen (not docked, just stuck). I can only see the Filters, Status, & Name columns. It will not let me uncheck the "allow docking." It won't let me move it to the middle of my screen by dragging & dropping it. It won't let me stretch it out so I can view the other columns like linetype. How can I fix this? I can't change my linetypes because I can't see that column.

Here is the screenshot. I cannot do anything to the Layer Properties Manager. Thank you for your help.
It won't let me drag it. I get a red circle with a line through it saying I can't drag it. When I right click, the "allow docking" is grayed out & will not let me check or uncheck it. It also will not let me click on the bottom right corner & drag it out to enlarge it in order to see all the columns. In order to change any linetypes, I am having to use the "classiclayer" command in order to get to the linetype column, which obviously is not ideal.
That worked! It was set to 15. Once I changed it to 0, I was able to finally move it & dock it. Thank you so much for your help! 🙂
I have a similar question with my layers manager. 2 things actually:
1.) When I click on layers properties, it come up in the top left corner and I can't even see more than one layer without scrolling. I was hoping to be able to move it out of the corner and be able to open up a larger window to see more layer.
2.) How can I get the layers properties to be a side toolbar like my properties bar is on the left in the picture? All it will do when I drag it out of the toolbar on top is make a box and it takes up a lot of space on the screen.
Help! It's driving me crazy. I have autocad 2017 fyi.
AWESOME. Thank you. Any idea how to make the Layers box from the middle of the screen a side bar like the properties bar in the picture?
Hi Dean,
I had the same problem except at first I couldn't even get my Layer properties Manager to come up.
I fixed that under your advise at the CUI Command
Then I couldn't get it unlocked from the left side, and I fixed that by setting the LOCKUI Command to 0.
Thanks for the advice!

Thanks ! It fixed the issue in AutoCAD 2017 also. I tried to use the Acad help but could not find a solution.
