Layer Names Disappear in Properties Dropdown Menu

[ky658326]

Hi!

I'm using AutoCAD LT for Mac (2023), when I'm trying to change the properties of an object the layer I want to move it to doesn't show up in the properties manager, but shows in the actual layer list. It's like the properties layer list doesn't want to go past the letter 't' even though the layer I need starts with a 'v'. I've updated the MAXSORT to be over 2000, even though I would bet that the layer count is under 200. 

I can't seem to find any filtering info or ways that the drawing would limit the amount of layers displayed. I've even tried restoring default settings and re-installing 2023, and also 2024.

Any help would be appreciated, as it seems like it's been a common problem for me lately no matter the CAD drawing. 

Thanks!

"layer state" is just a static list used to turn on/off layers among other things, it does NOT create layers not already in your DWG file. Are you assuming a layer is there when it is not perhaps?

or do you have a layer filter running that is masking your full layer list?

Time to share that DWG file here if you can.

ky658326, have you found a solution to this issue?  

I have the same issue, started about a week or two ago, and it makes it very difficult to change linework to 'x-' layers.  It seemed to start of ignoring all the layers after the layer below defpoints for me.  After I managed to change some linework to an 'x-' layer by typing 'x' then 'enter' keyboard keys while the properties manger's layer dropdown was active, the next time I went to change linework's layer, that beforehand, unseen 'x-' layer was now visible.  

This has nothing to do with layer states or filters, as I've never created either.  It also occurs for me on all .dwg files.

I just went back to take a screenshot similar to ky658326 to share and something changed.  I pulled to layer menu out of the stack I have it in, docked to the right, and clicked the properties manager's layer dropdown menu.  All layers showed up.  I also added a few more 'x-' layers and those appears, too.  It is unclear what changed, but I think it has to do with the scroll not completely working because when the layer menu is returned to the stack, the properties manager menu is pushed down a little and its layer dropdown menu will not scroll all the way to the bottom again.  Removing the properties manager from the stack and moving it towards the top of the screen yields the same result as removing the layers menu.

Pretty finicky menu scroll, which also just happens to be vital for working in Autodesk LT's Mac version.  What a pain!
