Select Objects on the Layer(s) to be Isolated
After selecting one or more objects, all layers except the layers of the selected
objects are either turned off, frozen in the current layout viewport, or locked,
depending on the current setting. The layers that remain visible and unlocked
are termed isolated.
NOTE Locked layers are faded by default. You can specify the percent of the fading
from the Lock option in this command. You can later change the value with the
LAYLOCKFADECTL system variable.
If you make changes to layers within a session and you want to restore the
layers to the state they were in immediately before you entered the LAYISO
command, use the LAYUNISO command.
