overrides the transparency setting of the layer. Drag the slider to adjust the
transparency of objects on the layer.
Plot Indicates if the objects on layer should be plotted or not.
If you turn off plotting for a layer, the objects on that layer are still displayed.
Layers that are off or frozen are not plotted, regardless of the Plot setting.
Plot Style Displays the plot style associated with the layer. If you are working
with color-dependent plot styles (thePSTYLEPOLICY system variable is set to
1), you cannot change the plot style associated with a layer. Clicking the plot
style name displays a drop-down list with the available plot styles.
New VP Freeze Freezes the layer in new viewports created on a named (paper
space) layout.
For example, freezing the DIMENSIONS layer in all new viewports restricts
the display of dimensions on that layer in any newly created named layout
viewports but does not affect the DIMENSIONS layer in existing viewports. If
you later create a viewport that requires dimensions, you can override the
default setting by changing the current viewport setting.
VP Freeze (not available on the Model layout) Freezes the layer in the current
named (paper space) layout viewport. You can freeze or thaw layers in the
current viewport without affecting layer visibility in other viewports.
VP Freeze overrides the Thaw setting for a layer in the drawing. That is, you
can freeze a layer in the current viewport if it's thawed in the drawing, but
you can't thaw a layer in the current viewport if it's frozen or off in the
drawing. A layer is not visible when it is set to Off or Frozen in the drawing.
VP Color (not available on the Model layout) Sets an override for the color
associated with the selected layer for the active named (paper space) layout
viewport.
VP Linetype (not available on the Model layout) Sets an override for the
linetype associated with the selected layer for the active named (paper space)
layout viewport.
VP Lineweight (not available on the Model layout) Sets an override for the
lineweight associated with the selected layer for the active named (paper space)
layout viewport.
VP Transparency (not available on the Model layout) Sets an override for
transparency associated with the selected layer for the active named (paper
space) layout viewport.
