@seamea12

You have the layer already unlocked from the top...Can you specify what exactly are you trying to modify?

Unlock/Split/Merge/Assign Layer...,

Thanks for a info but I am afraid it is not what I am looking for .I have a compound wall with all locked layers .I'd like to open layers of my wall . It seems to work and shows unlocked layer but when I press YES button it shows error info!

@seamea12

From the error warning message you posted, the elements in question are in a Design Option set...You need to make that active or make it primary to select those items. You can do that either by managing the design options from the Ribbon>View Tab>Design Options or by using the design option menu on the task bar at the bottom of the view
