Drop down menu - Layer Control - high

Anonymous — Fri, 17 Mar 2017 11:25:45 GMT

ello,

Is there any way to change size of Drop down menu - Layer Control. Now I can see 30 items ( layers), but I want to have this window bigger to see maybe 100 or 150 items).

I have Autocad 2013 an Classic Menus ( not Ribbon)

Thanks

LAYER command is a palette: why not open it, dock it to the left or right of your screen, leave it open and as tall as your screen allows?

Otherwise you'll have to buy an add-on like this I believe, remember to try before you buy http://www.manusoft.com/software/quikpik.html

I do what Dean says. My palette comes out 75% of the screen for layers. If I'm looking at the layer palette 99.9999% of the time I don't need to see anything in the drawing at the same time so I don't care if it's covering anything up. Plus it's so much nicer to see the whole palette. You can see all the columns without scrolling. Now other palettes, I have come out smaller because I need to see the palette and the drawing at the same time like tool palettes or properties palettes. My xref palette does come out about 40% of the screen just far enough so I can see the full file paths not cut off.

I keep my layer palette on a second monitor, docked and open (not auto-hidden). However the pull-down is handy for quickly changing between layers, but for me 30 is plenty for the pull-down. I'd like to see a longer pull-down in the properties palette, currently it only shows 10.
