    Default Layer Manager & Layer drop down are slow to open.

    The most common reason for this are layer filters. Layer Filter, though useful, can multiply very quickly. This also causes the drawing to have a larger file size.

    So to fix this problem you need to delete all the Layer Filters you don't need. This can take awhile if you have a few thousand filters. AutoLISP to the rescue. Our own Robert Bell wrote a routine just for this problem. See the attached file.
