Table Of Contents

Isolate Selected Layers Isolates the selected layers in the drawing. All layers

except those selected, are turned off and locked. (See

LAYISO on page 551)

Select All Selects everything displayed in the list view.

Clear All Removes selection from all items in the list view except the most

recently selected layer or filter.

Select All but Current Selects everything displayed in the list view except the

current layer.

Invert Selection Selects everything displayed in the list view except the items

that are currently selected.

New Layer (+)

Creates a new layer. The list displays a layer named LAYER1. The name is

selected so that you can enter a new layer name immediately. The new layer

inherits the properties of the currently selected layer in the layer list (color,

on or off state, and so on).

The new layer is created below the last currently selected layer.

Delete Layer (-)

Deletes selected layers. You can delete only unreferenced layers. Referenced

layers include layers 0 and DEFPOINTS, layers containing objects (including

objects in block definitions), the current layer, and xref-dependent layers.

Layers in a partially opened drawing are also considered referenced and cannot

be deleted.

NOTE Be careful about deleting layers if you are working on a drawing in a shared

project or one based on a set of layering standards.

Search Layer

Filters the layer list by name quickly as you enter characters. This filter is not

saved when you close the Layers palette.
