    Default Can I UNfade locked layers?

    Hello,

    In DWG TrueView locked layers are set to display at 50%.
    In AutoCAD this setting is controled by variable LAYLOCKFADECTL.
    Is there any way to modify the equivilent of this variable in TrueView?
    My users would like to see all layers at full visibility and not have the locked layers faded.

    Thank you,
    Steve

    You can edit this in the registry.
    Make sure DWG Trueview is not open
    Go to:
    HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Autodesk\DWG TrueView\R10\dwgviewr-Bxxx:xxx\Profiles\<<Unnamed Profile>>\Drawing Window
    Create a DWORD (32bit) value named "LayLockFadeCtl" and set the value to 0.

    Launch DWG Trueview and test.
