Unlock Command and Toolbar

[Anonymous]

In 8.1, I have placed the tools/unlock command on the toolbar.

Certain items in the plan file are locked. When I select a locked layer, a popup appears, as it should, stating the layer is locked.

When I click on the unlock button on the toolbar, the layer does not unlock, nor does it unlock when I click tools/unlock.

If I right click and select Layers/unlock, the command works fine, but not otherwise.

Any ideas.

Thanks, Grant

Grant,

The toolbar icon locks and unlocks INDIVIDUAL elements, not layers.

Take a look at the "Quick Layers" palette for layers.

Also,

When you select an item that is on a LOCKED LAYER, simply RIGHT CLICK on that element and pull down the contextual menu to LAYERS / UNLOCK LAYER. Works in reverse also, if you want to LOCK or HIDE a layer of an element on screen, use the contextual menu.

Thanks for the feedback. I will use the QuickLayers toolbar.

Any way to change the shape of the Quicklayers toolbar from horizontal to vertical.

Thanks,

Grant
