Selecting layers by name has stopped working

I have a few buttons that have the following:

_-SelLayer
“My Layer”

They used to all work and selected the named layer, but now they don’t work anymore, they just get stuck on Layers to Select (Pick):

my layer name is not answering it like it was

I did get an update I think yesterday. I don’t know if that is why this doesn’t work anymore…

Edit:
Some of them do work… it’s just this one that doesn’t work.

! _-DupFaceBorder MultiPause
_PlanarSrf
_Delete
_-SelLayer
"Drill Alignment"

MultiPause is causing it… if I replace MultiPause with just Pause, then _-SelLayer works. I don’t understand why MultiPause would have any effect once the DupFaceBorder was done.

Thanks, James.
We’ve had a few reports of this throughout the years but now it’s on the list:
RH-72106 Commands: MultiPause disturbs commands that follow

At first glance, this might be happening for commands that already wait for multiple picks anyway, and where, as you say, you can use Pause instead.

I don’t know why I was trying to use MultiPause there.. but it sounds like using MultiPause when it’s not really needed is causing some issue later on.. but it’s very confusing… I was copying and pasting from other buttons into the -_SelLayer section not even considering that something 2 commands up would be making it not work. I’m glad it’s on the list and that the issue is solved :slight_smile:

RH-72106 is fixed in the latest WIP.
