2006 lt software allowed me to click on an object, then click on make object layer current in both model and paper space.
2011 software allows me to do this in model space only, when i try in paperspace i get message in command line saying "command only valid in model space"
any solutions would be appreciated bearing in mind that sadly i am an old git non techie type can just about find the on button and need step by step instructions.
many thanks in advance
I am having the same problem after upgrading from LT 2008 to LT 2013. Does anyone know a method to use this command/button in layout tabs?
thanks
Is the Entity drawn in Modelspace or Paperspace?
Works here without issue when clicking on an Entity in Modelspace and if an Entity is Drawn in Paperspace the Command will change this Entities Layer to Current.
In Paperspace the Viewport would need to be Active to set an Entity Layer to Current.

Try LAYCUR from the Command line and then pick the entity.
And post your drawing or a piece of it if you can.

the LAYCUR command works and will make whatever I pick change to the current layer.
As was asked early on - What Command or how were you trying to do this when it did not work?
