AutoCAD LT :: Slow Layers Properties Manager?

Sep 27, 2012

I am using AutoCAD LT 2013 where I work.I am working with a Floor Plan in which the building and the Site Plan are XRefed and the drawing is very slow.

The building is small, but the XREfed Site Plan, being of a large shopping center, was as drawn by a survey company, and is large.  I took out (erased) the solid hatches that indicate the concrete, to make the site a little smaller.  Since I do not use the entire site plan on the recipient Floor Plan Sheet, I clipped it using XClip, so only the necessary areas and parking around the building are shown.

I notice that the recipient drawings are very slow (i.e., the Floor Plan where I am working), and the Layers Properties Manager is the worst offender, being very slow and erratic when I want to add a new layer, change layer name, etc.

The computer is a new very large computer, and I did not have this slowness problem before working with other prjects.

Is there any setting or some settings that will make the drawings faster?

AutoCad 3D :: Won't Delete Layers In Drawing In Layers Properties Manager

Sep 20, 2006

There are some layers in my drawing that won't delete in the layers properties manager. I don't know why. It gives me 4 possible reasons:

- It might be layer 0 or a Defpoint (whatever that is).
- It is the current layer
- It is an Xref dependent layer
- It is a layer containing objects

But none of these, to my knowledge, apply. There could be things on the layer that I'm just not seeing, but I've looked thoroughly. I even zoomed out to the extents, highlighted the whole area, and clicked the erase tool, but it still won't go away. I got the file from another computer, so it might be an Xref dependent layer and the Xref'ed files just didn't come with it. How would I be able to tell - and how could I remove the Xref dependency?

Other than that, is there any other reason a layer won't delete? Can I force it to delete?

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: 2011 Sheet Set Manager Very Slow?

Jun 21, 2012

Recently (In the past 6 months) I have noticed that Sheet Set Manager is very slow when trying to do anything.  It takes at least 45 seconds for a box to appear when right clicking on SSM to publish or change properties.  Every user in our office has the same problem.  I am not sure if this is a network problem or if it is a problem with C3D ?

AutoCAD Map 3D :: Layer Properties Manager

Feb 28, 2012

We have just upgraded to 2012 map 3d and now every time I open a drawing whether or not in the sheet set manager or straight from the file location, the layer properties manager opens with it. Is there a way to make it not open every time a drawing is opened?

AutoCAD Map 3D :: Layer Properties Manager

Feb 14, 2013

Run into an issue in AutoCAD Map 3D 2012 when multiple raster images (in this case 66 ortho images) are attached as data connections, you cannot see New Layers when you create them in the default Layer Properties Manager?

I have found using the Classic Layer Properties Manager is a work around.

It doesn’t seem to matter if the ortho images are connected individually or grouped as a single layer.

I'm running Map 3D with SP2 applied.

AutoCAD 2013 :: DataLink Manager Editor Is Extremely Slow

Feb 21, 2013

I have yet another very unique issue that has not been mentioned anywhere else that I would like to bring to the discussion table. We have a very large project that involves several different areas of design.  Each building has it's own set of cables that need to be pulled to the location so we have quite the extensive lists of cable schedule.  All of this information is in a single Excel file which is datalinked into separate drawings.  Every building has its own datalink.

For the sake of flexibility, we needed to centralize all the data into one excel file.  We then use a macro to split up all the data by building.  Each building is copied to its own worksheet (tab) in Excel.  AutoCAD then datalinks to that worksheet using the option of "Use whole Worksheet" in the Datalink definitionDid I mention there are over 80 buildings?  That means an Excel file with over 80 tabs.

So for every building package in AutoCAD, there is a separate drawing just for cable schedules which includes a table style that uses the datalink to this excel file.  We replicate quickly by coping/pasting a template file, open it and go to datalink manager, and modify the datalink by changing the tab name in the drop down menu.  Since we're linking the entire sheet, it's extremely convenient.

After adding in a lot of worksheets, AutoCAD takes about 10 minutes to open the Datalink Manager Editor to change the link from one tab name to another.  I've tried getting rid of all but two tabs in the excel file (the current target and the one I want to change it to), but to no success.  There is a direct correlation between the quantity of worksheets and the speed of getting the Datalink Editor open, but we're talking between 10-30 minutes.  The excel file is only 1.3 MB.  Any insight with the inner workings of the datalink manager?

I should also mention that just updating an existing datalink is not all that painful.  It's usually about 5 seconds to bring in a full table's worth of data from the same excel file with ALL the tabs.

AutoCAD LT :: Layer Properties Manager Errors

Feb 3, 2012

i have recently upgraded from 08' LT to 12'LT and i have an intermittent issue with the Layer properties box.sometimes when i open the layers list and want to change layer name, color, linetype etc it will discard all changes when i close the box and the command line will show something like this 

Command: _layer
Command:
Unknown command "-LAYER". Press F1 for help.

the Layer box opens and works as normal but makes no changes to the drawing.if i reopen the layer prop box it will then work, it seems to be completely at random whether it works or not.

AutoCAD LT :: 2013 Properties Manager Not Working

Jan 8, 2013

I am having an issue with the Properties Manager in AutoCAD 2013 LT.

When a single object is selected, the dropdown appears blank and the properties displayed are just the default drawing properties that are displayed when nothing is selected.I am unable to view/modify any object's (line, hatch, etc) properties.

My PICKFIRST variable is set to 1. This happens on any file I open with 2013 LT but does not when the same file is opened with 2007 LT. I have also reinstalled/repaired the program through the control panel. I am at a complete loss.

AutoCad :: Sheet Set Manager And Custom Properties

Nov 7, 2013

I have a SSM set up with both Sheet Custom Properties and Sheet Set Custom Properties.

When I start a new project, i can populate both areas of the main SSM. I'll create my sheets and have them self populated by the "root" SSM settings (if you will)well now, lets say i need to change the date of the sheets from the past.. to the future submittal date. I set it in the "Sheet Custom Properties" in the "root" SSM and then I have to go to each sheet; right click --> Properties each sheet and change the custom properties.

Basically, is there a way to have the sheets (after created) to automatically update to the new date?

AutoCAD LT :: Layer Properties Manager Window Size?

Sep 16, 2009

In ACLT 2008, I was able to resize the window in the layer properties manager to what was convenient for me. In ACLT 2010, I am unable to change either the size or the position of the window. The same is true of the Design center window. Is this something that is permanently changed, or is there maybe a fix coming to allow this convenience in the future? Or have I missed some system variable which controls this?

AutoCAD .NET :: Update Layer Properties Manager Palette

Oct 17, 2011

I've created a VB.NET routine to update blocks, layers and layer filters from a source drawing.

After updating filters and when the command is finished (dialog closed), the Layer Properties Manager palette MAY not update to show the new set of filters although visually you can see that it does appear to refresh itself.

Whether it updates seems to depend on which filter is active and which filters are added.For example, I have properties filters A, B, C, D and E, and B and E have subfilters B1-B8 and E1-E9.

If Filter E3 is removed as a test and the parent filter E is active, when the command is done, E3 should appear back in the list, but it does not show until the palette is closed and reopened. If filter B is active, then the list will refresh and E3 will show immediatlely after the command exits.

I have added a dialog to my routine to inform the user they may have to close the palette and reopen to get the proper display.

I have tried Editor.UpdateScreen() but that does not work.

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Layer Properties Manager Palette Won't Appear

Jun 4, 2013

One of my CAD techs is having an issue with the Layer Properties Manager Palette.  When she opened AutoCAD, the palette was gone.  When she tried to bring it up with "LAYERPALETTE", she gets the "unknown command" message.  When she tried to bring it up using "LA" or "LAYER" or the button on the ribbon, she gets a bunch of options in the command line.

How can we get the Layer Properties Manager Palette back?

AutoCAD 2013 :: Xref In Layer Properties Manager

Apr 10, 2012

As I recall, in previous versions of AutoCAD, when I am in the Layer Properties Manager and I click on an xref under the Xref heading, the only layers shown were the ones in that xref, not all.

That is what is happening now. I cannot seem to find any setting under the settings for the Layer Properties Manager that would change this.

AutoCAD .NET :: Deleting Custom Properties Using SheetSet Manager API

Oct 29, 2013

I currently use code similar to Lee Ambrosius's 2009 AU handout that shows how to set/create custom properties. URL.... search for the header 'Adding Sheet Set and Sheet Properties'.

I have now accumulated numerous unused custom properties in my sheet set.  I haven't been able to find a way to delete these additional custom properties.

Because I use multiple subsets with multiple sheets for printing, I would rather not have to go through all the sheets, store all the custom properties I need, destroy all the existing custom properties, and then re-create just the ones I need. how to delete individual custom properties.

AutoCad :: Layer Properties Manager Always Stays Anchored To TOP Of LHS

I have AutoCAD (2013) set up with two anchored windows on the left-hand side of my screen - layer properties, and then anchored below it the design centre. What can I do to make sure that my layer properties manager always stays anchored to the TOP of the LHS, and the design centre BELOW it, because they switch around when I open a new drawing?

I have never seen this error before but its making it very miserable for me to have to seperate my work in layers without the use of the "LPM"

I have already un-installed & re-installed twice frankly i don't have anymore time to do this because i have deadlines i need to meet and its becoming a very big pain.

AutoCAD Architecture :: Layer Properties Manager Not Displaying Content

Jul 11, 2012

From time to time the layer properties manger Blanks out. See the attached image. The data is there, under the "fog" - I can view one item at a time by clicking on it.  

CLASSICLAYER works in most situations, but it isn't a real fix.  If I play with the layer manager long enough I get some degree of rehabilitation - as if it is really trying hard to open, but just can't manage it. The fields sometimes are blocked black, or certain areas of the fields become visible momentarily.  If I scroll to the far right I can pick up some information.

I'd just like it to work properly.

I am running AutoCad Architecture 2012 on Windows 7 professional with NVIDIAGeForce GT 440 and dual screens, (however I keep all the autocad work on the same screen).
