Unlock all layers

[#1]

Hi everybody.

i recieved a illustrator file with thousands of layers/sublayers, one of them is locked, and illustrator don't let me replace a font because says that "layer is locked".

there is a command to unlock all layers?

or to force a replace font without unlocking?

Thanks

[#2]

Layers Palette Flyout Menu >> Unlock All Layers

[#3]

i don't have it in cs4

Try locking one of your top layers. It will be available then as here

When I had no top layers locked it looked like yours.

Thank you.

Except the fact that it doesn't work.

Although it unlocks all layers, but won't unlock locked paths.

There is
Object -> Unlock All

for that in the menu.

Unlocking all objects wasn't the question; unlocking all layers was.

I've tried locking a layer to get the Unlock All Layers menu item and tried that, but there are still two fonts I cant Find/Replace because I continue to get the dialog:

Maybe a corrupt file?

What are the fonts you are having trouble with?

I'm sure this problem has been fixed by now, but I ran into the same issue and discovered that the font wasn't on the active artboard. It wasn't technically locked. It just wasn't active. Strange issue.

After some research I managed recently this :

1. First you have to show all objects : Main menu Objects > Show all (alt+ctrl+3)
2. Then create a top level layer, and drop all your others top layers inside, and proceed as Larry G. Schneider said...
