Layer Manager Dialog Box Issue

[BruceAdams]

Anyone ever seen this issue?  See attachment.

This just started happening on my dual monitor setup.  When I drag the dialog box to my main monitor it has the same issue.

What just changed on your PC? Widnows System Restore can probably remove it and put things back.

Nothing has changed on my PC. Not going to do a system restore when I know it isn't needed.  I just noticed this yesterday.  If I close the ACAD program and restart, all is good. Then all of a sudden if I hover over the buttons, they disapear.  It's not a windows issue IMO.  

I love it how almost everything that goes wrong with ADSK products like this....it is normally blamed on a windows issue by ADSK.

Have you tried reverting back to the old style view? LAYERDLGMODE

Try it and see if the issues disappears. You could also try turning off Hardware acceleration in AutoCAD.

Some other suggestions would be to make sure you are up to date so apply the latest service packs and to download a certified driver for your graphics card... http://usa.autodesk.com/adsk/servlet/syscert?id=18844534&siteID=123112

You may be on to something there.  I think we got it fixed. Hopfully this never returns.  🙂

When I swiched the old "layerdlgmode" back to "0" it looked like the attachment "Capturelayer DialogDLG0.JPG" 

Then I swiched it back to the new "layerdlgmode" setting "1" and it really jacked it up again and looked like the attachment "Capturelayer Dialog.JPG" Really strange. Aye?

I migrated this drawing from an old LDD. which had a boat load of filters and layerstates in it.  

So I then switched back to the old "layerdlgmode" setting "0" and deleted all the filters and layer states. 

Then I swithced to the new "layerdlgmode" setting "1" and the filters showed up again but not the layerstates.  I deleted the filters again there.

Saved and closed the C3D drawing and shut down and restarted C3D.

Opened up the same drawing and viola...all is good.  See "Capturelayer DialogDLGfixed.JPG"

I'll udate this thread if the problem returns.

Thanks for the lead Duncan.

That has happened to me with plain AutoCAD before and the solution was just to restart AutoCAD.  It's a very rare occurrence for me.

That would work as a temporary fix for me, but the problem always returned. It seems to be fixed now. But I still have my doubts. We'll see.
