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?

Joe,
Do you have the "Apply properties as viewport overrides" box checked?

Are you trying to apply the layer state as viewport overrides? If so. You'd have to be in an active viewport for them to take effect.
I just want to make sure that's what you're doing.

Specifically, no I am not trying to set vport layers, but I tried both checked and unchecked. All I am doing setting my global freeze thaw >> add a new layer state>> name it>> close>> reset the other state>> then try to reset the new one and nothing is frozen?
Also, Did have the overide check box hose me? all the lines are blue like I have a vport saved.

I believe that's it. If you have that box checked when you save the Layer State. That's the way it will be treated. At least I think so. I don't use viewport overrides much myself.

I don't know of any way. I'm afraid you may have to duplicate the settings and save the Layer State again.

I can't ever remember having a problem like that. This is how I have them set to save:

The only thing I see that's different in the way I do it is that I still use the Layers toolbar - not the ribbon. Try typing Layerstate and doing everything from the dialog box. I know that sometimes things work a bit different from the ribbon.

Joe,
This might not have anything to do with it. But there are 2 kinds of Layer States based on which space they were saved from. If a Layer state was saved from ModelSpace or from an active layout viewport (IOW clicked into MS through the viewport) it's a Modelspace layout. If the Layer State is saved while in a Layout view (PaperSpace) then it's al Layout Layer State.
Could it be that you accidentally saved a Layout as a Model or that you're trying to restore a Model in PaperSpace?

We also mostly use modelspace Layer States. The drawing I picked was a complicated one that grew instead of being planned. So I ended up with some layout as well as model. But sometimes I've seen ones that were supposed to be Model saved as Layout cause some confusion. I've done it myself. So I thought I'd mention it. Sometimes you can't see the forest for the trees.
