Layer States Problem - Computer to Computer

[michele336]

We are having an issue in the office with one computer. When we use the Layer States Manager it (seemingly) randomly selects extra layers to manipulate and/or it turns off items in Paperspace (such as the title block Xref or drawing titles) even when you clearly have a viewport active. Sometimes it will change all viewports to the new Layer State.

Everything works perfectly in this exact same DWG file when it is opened on a different machine. Both machines are using AutoCAD 2015. What could be causing this?

Just found my own solution!

The user on the "problem machine" only used the drop down menu so she didn't realize that "Turn off layers not found in layer state" was checked in the Restore options when you open up the Layer States Manager. We unchecked the box and all was good!

I had figured this was a drawing by drawing setting, but evidently it is a computer by computer setting.
