Locking all layers at once

[galengrant]

Sorry if this question has been answered already, but is there a way to lock all layers at once? I see there is a Layers/show all, but not a layers/lock all. I use AP with Reallusion Cartoon Animator and for some reason, all of the sprite layers need to be locked and "show" icon checked (please see image) or they don't appear when I export back into CA. I could fix each layer one at a time but that could be rather daunting.  Thank you.

If you select the bottom layer, then hold Shift and click the top layer this will select all, then click the lock icon.

Are you sure the Layers have to be Locked to show in Cartoon Animator?

In your second screenshot the Sprites not showing are the ones whose visibility has been set to off in the Layers panel of AP.

There appears to be no correlation between the sprites that are showing to those Layers you have shown as locked or unlocked.

Carl, You are right. The sprites don't have to be locked. It has everything to do with the visibility being set to on. Thank you for taking the time in making that observation and responding. Why I didn't notice?..This may have something to do with not seeing the forest for the trees.

Lee, Your response is also very much appreciated since the same principle applies, whether I want to lock all the sprites at once or set all to visible at the same time. This is a great time saver
