Because everything in your drawing is associated with a layer, it's likely that
in the course of planning and creating a drawing, you'll need to change what
you place on a layer or how you view the layers in combination. You can
■ Reassign objects from one layer to another.
■ Change the name of a layer.
■ Change the default color, linetype, or other properties of the layer.
Reassigning an object to a different layer is useful if you create an object on
the wrong layer or decide to change your layer organization. Unless the color,
linetype, or other properties of the object have been set explicitly, an object
that you reassign to a different layer will acquire the properties of that layer.
You change layer properties in the Layer Properties Manager. Click the icons
to change settings, and rename layers or change descriptions.
Changes in the Layer Properties Manager can be grouped by enabling Combine
Layer Property Change option in User Preferences tab in the Options dialog
box. Layer creation and deletion will be tracked in the Undo list as unique
items.

to the objects.
