DefinitionCharacter
Matches anything but the pattern; for example; ~*AB*matches
all strings that don't contain AB
~ (tilde)
Matches any one of the characters enclosed; for example,
[AB]C matches AC and BC
[ ]
Matches any character not enclosed; for example, [~AB]C
matches XC but not AC
[~]
Specifies a range for a single character; for example, [A-G]C
matches AC, BC, and so on to GC, but not HC
[-]
Reads the next character literally; for example, `~AB matches
~AB
` (reverse quote)
NOTE To filter on a layer name that contains a wild-card character, precede the
character with a reverse quote (`) so that it is not interpreted as a wild-card
character.

Reconcile New Layers
Unreconciled layers are new layers that have been added to the drawing and
have not yet been acknowledged by the user and manually marked as
reconciled.
Reconciling new layers is the process of manually reviewing new layers so that
you can avoid potential errors before plotting your drawing or when restoring
a layer state.
Unreconciled layers are new layers that have been added to the drawing or to
attached xrefs since the layer list was last evaluated. The layer list is checked
for new layers when a command, such as PLOT is used. In new drawings, the
layer baseline is created when the drawing is saved or plotted for the first time.
When a new drawing is first saved, the layer baseline is created, and all layers
