I deleted everything from a layer but it still says used and won't let me delete the layer is there a trick for this?

[TeaTime]

No tricks that I've ever found. Just depends on what it show in the Used column. Plus? Wrench? S?

 

S: stop trying. It's a system layer and cannot be deleted.

Plus: you didn't delete everything from that layer. Check your Details, Elevations, etc. There's something out there somewhere.

Wrench: first, hover your mouse over it and see if it also says it's a System layer. If so, see above. If not, get a shovel and start digging because it's in a default. Somewhere. Good luck!

 

 

*Amendment: your All Layers Off layer set can help. Make sure everything is off EXCEPT that layer, then use that Layer set to scout around your plan views, details, etc. Open view, change layer set, Fill screen, repeat. repeat. repeat.
