When I isolate a layer or turn off a layer from the icon command, it works. When I hit the icon for "turn on all layers" to get back, the layers that were isolated or turned off remain ghosted and the work I did is lost since I have to hit undue to get all my layers back on...? This was not a problem in AutoCAD 2000 I used for years before getiing LT 2008.

Thanks CADffm for looking at this, but I do actually need xref layer vp-freezed in the layout. I use that when I have two viewports in the layout that need to have different layers shown. Until Autodesk addresses the bug, We'll have to keep working around this issue.
Yes I see the distinction. Please note that once those layers are all VPlayer thawed (in layout). Layiso causes them to become VPlayer frozen again. That is the root of the problem. Though once I have thawed them, the problem does not seem to persist despite the fact that they have been re-frozen by the bug. So thank you. But my suspicion is that once I continue to work in the drawing, save it, close it, reopen it etc. etc. the problem will reoccur as I did not create the problem myself by VPlayer freezing those layers in the layout. I only freeze them in the viewport. I have contacted Autodesk thanks.
Well its 2022 now and nothing has changed.
No one at Autodesk cares for the dinosaurs still using AutoCad.
They just laugh and collect a fortune in subscriptions
LAYERP shows this problem should have been put to bed 13 years + ago.
Nevertheless - its still not perfect as the entire drawing is faded now.

It was never broken. The dinosaurs are all happy except for the ones that don't have an understanding of how the command (and it's settings) works. Stop blaming the program and Autodesk.
Do you know why everything is faded? Your layers are locked.

Look up LAYISO command in HELP, and watch the commandline like all smart "dinosaurs" learned to do back in the day and still do today: you missed the LOCK&FADE sub-option, yet again
HTH
LAYISO worked just fine......layers were faded as they should be .....it just that when I finished editing within the isolated layer and pressed LAYUNISO - nothing happened. LAYUNISO simlpy did not work. I had to then do a workaround using LAYERP, then had to unlocked all the isolated layers.....to get back to the layer stater before pressing LAYISO.
This was not user error. (Subscription 2022 LT)
Well Rob,
I used LAYISO when I finished editing within the isolated layer I pressed LAYUNISO - and nothing happened. LAYUNISO simlpy did not work. I had to then do a workaround using LAYERP, and then had to unlock all the isolated layers.....to get back to the layer stater before pressing LAYISO.

It sounds like you said it only happened once. Is it repeatable?
