Drawing Explorer
I'm trying to nut out how ver 25 works as it vastly different to my 18
I have 2 screens and ver 25 on my main screen and 18 on other. Assume that doesn't cause hiccups?
I am trying to get Drawing Explorer to work as it does in Ver 18.
In 18 I click on the Layers icon (arrowed) and up pops Drawing Explorer.
I can't replicate that in ver 25
Any suggestions as to how this works as shown below is muchly appreciated thanks
I see I can get what I want by clicking on the icon arrowed below, but that's extra steps and screen space. In ver 18 its a single click and it's all at laid out in front of me.
Just a comment here. This perplexes me
Not sure what is happening in Ver 25 but when I do the above and then drag that window about it ghosts an image of same on other screen
Ver 18 works without any such incidents.
Can anyone please throw some light on this.
Have posted a screen shot spanning both screens

Drawing Explorer
More recent versions of BricsCAD (since V20) default to displaying panels instead of the drawing explorer. If you want to display the drawing explorer, then you need to explicitly run those commands. e.g:
- EXPLAYERS will display layers in the traditional drawing explorer.
- LAYER will display layers in the Layer Panel
If you prefer to return to using the drawing explorer as the default, then we have a free menu utility here that will do this for you.
Ghosting
This is a known issue (SR 198217) for some users working on multiple screens. Hopefully a fix will be provided in a future update.

Thanks Jason. Will look at this tomorrow.
Having used that style for years I'm so familiar with it I can do things blindfolded. Well almost 😆
Plus it's the way my surveying program works so I'd prefer to keep same use in both
Ghosting. Phew! I'd got concerned my graphics wasn't upto it! Good to know it's not just me with the issue.
I think we probably got blown a bit closer to you . Wild and woolly times here!0
