Layer Control Drop-Down Issue

[jledgewood]

in my layer control drop-down the layers do not seem to be organized alphabetically as they typically do. in the layer manager they are alphabetical. how do I get this back?

[tedg]

maybe you have too many layers, try increasing your "maxsort" variable

Perhaps the OP accidentally left a Layer Filter selected in Layer Manager (in lieu of 'all')? *not sure*

Ah yes, good point.
I do that now and then, filter a set of xref layers in the layer dialog and then wonder why I can't see all my layers in the drop down.
I do that enough so it's a bad habit I know how to fix ;-)

Luckily, it's an easy quandary to fix, given the still-undocumented, and case-sensitive "_filter" -LAYER (http://help.autodesk.com/view/ACD/2015/ENU/?guid=GUID-2C75A883-10CA-4B6C-96AC-BCD7A7794614) Command Option :wink: :



(defun c:FOO () (command "._-layer" "_filter" "_s" "All" ""))
