View Full Version : 2018 Layer Manager Problem - can't see all columns

In the Layer Manager window in Civil-3d, I made the mistake of double-clicking on the Name column to automatically cause it to expand to the length of the longest layer name. The DWG file from the client has some very long layer names and the name column opened up to be wider than the manager window. I cannot see all the other layer states columns. And I do not see a scroll bar across the bottom of the window to move things around. How can I fix this? TIA

Right click on the header (i.e. Name) and somewhere on the list it should say "restore all columns to default". that should fix the issue, let me know if not.

I was in C3d metric. I closed that, opened the same drawing in Imperial, closed, and opened it again in metric. That seems to have fixed it. Thanks for the tip; that's good to know.

With your cursor on the header hover over the line separating the columns and it should change from your mouse pointer to a double arrow ↔ allowing you to drag each column width to whatever you want.

This is what I would normally do. Except, in this case, the 'Name' column became too wide. The line separating the columns wasn't in the view. I didn't see a scroll bar along the bottom as I expected.
