ARCHICAD 20 - MISSING LAYER SWITCHES IN DWG VIEW OPTIONS

Hello everyone,

We've been having this painful issue lately.
When we place a DWG into Archicad, there are these options to switch on/off its internal layers,
but the issue is, that we cannot se the 'eye' icons in the layer window. (screenshot attached)

Has anyone else encountered this?
This is Archicad 20 PL 8005 FULL POL (Mac version)

These are different, depending on working stations.
From Sierra, through High Sierra, to Mojave.

Same symptoms for every MacOS version.

Thanks for the info.

20 is a few years old so may not work 100% with the latest Mac OS versions.
Not being a Mac user I am not sure if 20 was designed for any of those you mention.

All I can say is Archicad 20 on a Windows system does show those layer icons.
Maybe someone else on a Mac can check?

When you place a drawing with the Drawing tool, there is an settings button to show "Drawings own layers".

Yes, but the most weird thing is that it happens with MacOS Sierra, which AC20 was designed for, but everything is perfectly fine on Windows. I'm starting to think that it is just an annoying bug

Thank you for your replies though!
