■ If a layout viewport is active when a layer state is restored, and the Visibility
in Current VP restore option is selected, all layers that need to be visible
in the viewport are turned on and thawed in model space. All layers that
should not be visible in the viewport are set to VP Freeze in the current
viewport and the model space visibility is unchanged.
The Layers panel on the RIBBON contains controls for selecting and restoring
saved layer states, including a button to access the Layer States Manager. The
name of the last restored layer state is displayed in the Layers panel. When
the layers are modified so that the current layer state is no longer current,
“Unsaved Layer State” is displayed instead of the name of the last restored
layer state.
Restore Property Override Settings
When the Apply Properties as Viewport Overrides restore option is selected
in the Layer States Manager, viewport overrides are restored to the viewport
that is current at the time the layer state is restored.
When a layer state is saved in model space and is restored in paper space,
■ You can choose whether color, linetype, lineweight, transparency, or plot
style properties are restored as viewport overrides.
■ Viewport overrides are applied to the current layout viewport.
■ Layers that were turned off or frozen in model space are set to VP Freeze
in the Layer Properties Manager for the active layout viewport.
When a layer state is saved in paper space and is restored in model space,
■ Layer property overrides are restored as global layer properties in model
space.
■ Layers that were frozen in a layout viewport are also frozen in model space.
Edit Saved Layer Settings
Using the Edit Layer State dialog box, you can modify the properties of each
layer saved in a layer state.
All properties other than the layer name can be edited. Properties for multiple
layers can be changed at the same time.
You can also add layers to a layer state through the Select Layers to Add to
Layer State dialog box. For example, if new layers were added since the layer
