Can't edit unlocked layer
I just started using 2012.Two problems:1-Somehow, in my current drawing, everything is layer-locked.There are no Xrefs in this very basic drawing.All layers are unlocked.Yet, any attempt to select any entities results in "x objects were on a locked layer".Again, all layers are unlocked.No Xrefs.No blocks.Just simple lines.All entities appear faded.This happened after viewing a layout in both paper and model spaces.Reviewing the text window shows no strange accidental commands.
2- There is a default set of viewport scales in the status bar at the bottom right.Default scales are all metric.I would like both metric and imperial.I see you can edit which exact scales are in a metric list, and which are in an imperial list.But how do you set what is displayed/available in the status bar button? Can you post the drawing you are having a problem with? Sounds like you have isolated your layers. Layers were indeed isolated.Thanks.I knew it would be something simple.Just not up to speed with 2012 yet.
And now the other problem remains:
2- There is a default set of viewport scales in the status bar at thebottom right.Default scales are all metric/eng.I would like both metric/engand imperial/arch.I see you can edit which exact scales are in a metriclist, and which are in an imperial list.But how do you set what isdisplayed/available in the status bar button? _SCALELISTEDIT works in 2011.
Well, I got that far.But that way, you have to manually enter every single scale from scratch.Surely there is a way to add the scales that are already defined.
Has anyone else figured this out? Do it once, and add it to your default template.
How many are there if you open up a new drawing? I don't remember populating the Scale List ever. So I assume there were many in the Autocad package.
Just the metric/eng ones.About 17.
I'm guessing I'll have to do as you said, but I try to be optimistic and am always looking for one click solutions vs multiple actions.Particularly when dealing with advanced software.Maybe someone has the magic wand? Wait a tic... you're saying that your Edit Drawing Scales (Scalelistedit) doesn't match the Annotation Scale button??
Oh, it matches.But if you go Options/User Preferences/Default Scale List, you will find metric and imperial listed separately.I would like to have both available at all times.I'm in Canada and switch back and forth constantly and can even sometimes have layouts with both.
