Remove Layer Property Overrides
When you right-click a layer in the Layers palette, a shortcut menu is displayed
that lists options for removing property overrides. You can remove
A single property override from the selected layer for the selected viewport
or for all selected viewports
All property overrides from the selected layer for the selected viewport or
for all selected viewports
All property overrides from all layers in the selected viewport or for all
selected viewports
NOTE Another method for removing property overrides is to use the shortcut
menu when you right-click the border of the selected viewport or viewports. You
can remove viewport overrides for all layers for that viewport.
Group and Sort the List of Layers
You can control which layer names are listed in the Layers palette and sort
them by name or by property, such as color or visibility.
A layer group organizes the display of layer names in the Layers palette. In a
large drawing, you can use layer groups to list the layers you need to work
with.
There are two kinds of layer groups
Layer dynamic group Includes layers that have names or other
properties in common. For example, you can define a layer group that
includes all layers that are red and whose names include the letters mech.
Layer group Includes the layers that are put into the layer group when
you define it, regardless of their names or properties. Selected layers can
be added from the layer list by dragging them to the layer group.
The Layers palette displays some default and any named layer groups that you
create and save in the current drawing. Four default filters are displayed
All Used Layers. Displays all the layers on which objects in the current
drawing are drawn.
Xref. If xrefs are attached to the drawing, displays all the layers being
referenced from other drawings.
Viewport Overrides. If there are layers with overrides for the current
viewport, displays all layers containing property overrides.
