I recently imported a dwg file. It opens alright but when I try and select one object everything gets selected and stays selected no matter what I do. There are different sections to it they are in MTS but everything is in one layer I would like break it down to different layers to simplify the drawing. Any ideas?

Thanks Jim

either a group or a symbol, check titlebar of the "Window > Inspector" for the entity type.

as already mentioned, ungrouping should resolve the issue.

Norbert

the entity type of the selected element(s) is displayed in the [URL="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Title_bar"]title bar[/URL] of the Inspector window, at least if only one element selected or multiple elements of the same type.

hth,

In the title bar it say default settings

Jim

The imported drawing says default settings. If I draw a line inspector say line. I wonder if the sender sent it as a read only file.

Jim

"default settings" is shown if nothing is selected.

do a "zoom all" and try to select again.
