in 2012 I saved a layerstate and it shows in the dialog but if I change the stet to another and go back none of the settings are held. Is this a known problem?

If you're in a Layout Tab and save the Layer States. Then you're saving a Layout version of Layer States and that will only affect the paper space layers. You can click into ModelSpace through the viewport and save the Model version from there.

What I'm saying is if you have a Layout LS you have to restore it from a layout tab. If you have Model LS you have to restore it from Modelspace. Either on the Model tab or by clicking in to a viewport and entering Modelspace that way or by Maximizing the viewport.
I have no reference for this except experience.

I finally found an explanation on-line that addresses what I've been trying to say. Hopefully in a more understandable manor.

If you're only working in the Model tab. Then what you've been doing should work. Just save a Model based Layer State and you should be able to restore it.

Joe,
I just watched the Chronicle again. You're definitely on a lyout tab and creating a Layout version of of a LayerState. You're also in Paperspace when you do it. I just tried it. A Layout LayerState with a layer frozen (not VPFrozen) does not freeze the layer in a viewport. It should freeze anything in PaperSpace on that layer. It's kind of weird the way it works. Even though the Layer Manager says the layer is thawed. The entities on that layer don't appear in PaperSpace until I restore the LayerState that thaws that layer.

Here are my rules for layers. I only break them when I have to.
Obviously you're working in a different method than me, but I just thought I'd share.

Not just you Joe. AFAIK it should be a Layout type if you saved it from a layout tab.

Do you know that the paperspace for each layout counts as a viewport?
That's a good way of looking at it. I knew they could be different and did know that the software considered the PaperSpace layout as a viewport. But I never put it together like that.
