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! |

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. ------------- "Humans have a strength that cannot be measured. This is John Connor.

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. |

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. ------------- "Humans have a strength that cannot be measured. This is John Connor.
