Hi,

I'm using AutoCAD 2020, im unable to edit my new layer on layer state manager.

Every time I click edit, my whole autocad freezes so I have to turn it off.

Any help is appreciated.

Thank you

Hi,

"turn it off" means what?

If [ESC] works, the problem is layerstatus edit dialog is outside the visible Screen.

Click [Edit]

[ALT]+[SPACE]

[V]

[Press an Arrow-Key / not from the Numpad]

move your Mouse around.

You can train it with a visible dialog, like RENAME for example

Hi,

Thank you for the reply.
I meant 'Turn it off' as in as soon I click 'Edit' my mouse freezes so I can't click anything else on Autocad. I get error report message so I have to force quit autocad.

Oops

Okay, this is a real problem.

May i ask: Are you sure you asked in the right board?

This board is for AutoCAD (not AutoCAD for mac)
