Controlling LAYER Command Behavior

Issue: You want to know how to change the behavior of the LAYER command in AutoCAD 2009 so that the model Layer Properties Manager from previous versions is opened instead of the new modeless Layer Properties Manager (Layer Palette).

Solution: To access the Layer Properties Manager from AutoCAD 2008 and previous releases, use the CLASSICLAYER command.

To open the 2009 Layer Properties Manager, use the LAYERPALETTE command.

To set the Classic Layer Manager as the default in AutoCAD 2009, you need to set the LAYERDLGMODE variable to 0. Follow these steps:

  1. At the command prompt, enter layerdlgmode.
  2. When prompted to enter a value for layerdlgmode, enter 0.
  3. To restore the default behavior, set the variable to 1.
