How do you invert the layer selection in the Layer window (AC26)
There was a button for this in 25 IIRC

Thanks but I already know about this and in this instance it doesn't do what I need (maybe I'm missing something?)
I wanted to select several layers in the main Layer window, then hide all others
Pretty sure this was possible in previous versions?
In the end I had to use the Find tool, but it took too long

Select several elements in your model (one from each layer you want to keep on) and then use Quick Layers to hide all other layers.
Or in the layers palette, it is exactly the same as previous versions, you just don't have a 'select all' button.
So CTRL+A to select all layers, turn them off and turn on the layers you want.
