Alignment Layout tools greyed out

Anyone know why the Alignment Layout Tools is greyed out?? This happens regularly and closing and restarting usually sorts it but not on this occasion

 

.....and I don't have any grips on the alignment when selected - don't remember seeing this before...???

 

Thanks

Sounds like they are DS alignments?

They are referring to data shortcut (DS) alignments/objects.

To edit a data shortcut, you just open the source drawing where the object was made.

Can be done by right clicking the object that is referenced and selecting "Open Source Drawing"
