    Default Don't see properties for Display Manager styles for AutoCAD entities.

    Here is what I'm trying to do. I have some line work on a layer. In the display manager I add the layers then add an entity style to it. Right-click on the style and then I click on properties so I can change how it looks. Only problem is the Properties palette says nothing is selected. I just get what you see in the attached image. If I do as the message say and select a component, it says this object is not controlled by the display manager.

    I get the same thing when I click on Tools>View Map Properties

    Any ideas

    Thanks
    Glenn

    Highlight the Enity style that you added for that layer. You might need to expand the layer (the little triangle) to see it. It takes a few attempts in C3D for it to work. Select and Right Click are your friends in the display manager.

    Thats what I have been doing. Just can't get anything to show up in the Properties Palette. Tried on another machine and have no problems.


    BTW: Perfect post number

    I notice in C3D it acts weird at times, in just Map3D works 99.5% of the time ok.

    This better now?

    Well guess I fixed it. Reloaded the company profile and now it works. Didn't think that would work since I loaded the default OTB profile and still had the issue.
