Heres a simple one

I am using to being able to changing the layer of any drawing entity by clicking on it and pulling down the layer control tab and clicking on the layer I want to change the entity to.

But it does not work on the clients autocad and I cannot find the setting that might be affecting this.

I can set the layer with quick properties box and modify properties but if I try qselect and then try to use layer control to modify it wont work.

Anyone have any ideas ?

Open the Layer Properties Manager. The layer the objects is on is probably locked. The little padlock in the layer properties manager will be shut if it is.
