wolftide45 Posted April 17, 2020 Share Posted April 17, 2020 Is there a way to show the layer an object is on without opening the object specifications? Maybe down on the bottom bar (not sure what it's called) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lbuttery Posted April 17, 2020 Share Posted April 17, 2020 yes, Chief already does that if the layer is not showing in the lower right then check your preferences and defaults Lew Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chopsaw Posted April 17, 2020 Share Posted April 17, 2020 Yes the status bar displays the layer but much more useful is the Active Layer Display Options panel ( ALDO ). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wolftide45 Posted April 17, 2020 Author Share Posted April 17, 2020 Thanks to both, the status bar is the quick reference I was looking for. Does the ALDO change automatically when you select a different object? Right now, mine does not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes it should highlight the layer of the selected item and show associated layers. Not sure there is a setting to turn that functionality off ?

EmmaCox Posted May 6 Share Posted May 6 Thank you for posting this, not sure why mine had turned off and it was driving me crazy. Thought I'd attached a screenshot of where to find those settings as I had to search a bit, bottom left corner in active layer display options (ALDO). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
