Layer Manager missing

SU8.0 on Win XP

I recently upgraded from SU6 to SU8, and now I find that the Layer Manager is missing from my group of palettes. Under the Window menu Model Info, Entity Info and Layers are checked, and the other active palettes have a dash next to them. But the Layers palette is not displayed, and nothing happens when I check or uncheck the menu item.

The Layer List displays in the top toolbar, along with a button for Layer Manager. But nothing happens when I click on the button. Unless I'm missing something obvious, the Layer Manager was not included in the installation, or was mis-filed.

Tomorrow I will try a reinstall. But I'd like to know if anyone else has noticed the same problem.

There should be a layer manager. Try Window > Preferences > Workspace and reset your workspace there.

If it doesn't come back, yes, reinstall (maybe with a new download if the file's corrupt)

Gai, if Window > Layers isn't what he's looking for, perhaps he had a forgotten plugin installed. My memory doesn't go that far back:-)

True, Didier has a Layer Manager plugin (if you do not mean the "regular" layer dialog in SU):

Ah yes! That did it. Thanks.
