The variable is INPUTSEARCHOPTIONS.  I'm not sure when this feature was first introduced.  If it doesn't work in your version then you are out of luck.]]> Fri, 23 Mar 2018 10:37:14 +0000 https://www.cadforum.cz/forum_en/forum_posts.asp?TID=12669&PID=35818&title=layer-by-typing#35818 https://www.cadforum.cz/forum_en/forum_posts.asp?TID=12669&PID=35817&title=layer-by-typing#35817 Author: congiuntiva

Thanks mate, but unfortunately I do not have a wrench (my version must be earlier)

I've tried DSETTINGS command and OPTIONS menu, but I didn't find.]]> Fri, 23 Mar 2018 09:14:12 +0000 https://www.cadforum.cz/forum_en/forum_posts.asp?TID=12669&PID=35817&title=layer-by-typing#35817 https://www.cadforum.cz/forum_en/forum_posts.asp?TID=12669&PID=35816&title=layer-by-typing#35816 Author: John Connor

You want to search for a layer via the command line?

Look in the lower left hand corner of your screen.  There should be a symbol that looks like an open end box wrench.  Click on it.  On the flyout menu select Input Settings.  Now make sure that Search Content is enabled.

Hi everyone,
I'm looking for the System variables, or similar, to be able to search a layer by typing the first letter name in the layer drop down.

I know it can be able because in another computer I can do that .
I'm working on pc (win8) on autocad2011.

Thank you for all your help!      ]]> Thu, 22 Mar 2018 12:08:08 +0000 https://www.cadforum.cz/forum_en/forum_posts.asp?TID=12669&PID=35815&title=layer-by-typing#35815
