If you do not want to display or plot property overrides, set the
VPLAYEROVERRIDESMODE system variable to 0. Objects will display and plot
with their global layer properties.
NOTE Property overrides can still be set even when VPLAYEROVERRIDESMODE is
set to 0.
Property overrides that are on xref layers are not retained when the VISRETAIN
system variable is set to 0.
Identify Layers with Property Overrides
Layers containing property overrides are identifiable in the Layer Properties
Manager when accessed from a layout tab. You can see which layers have
overrides by the following:
■ A background color displays for each layer name, override and
corresponding global property setting.
■ A tooltip displays property override information when the cursor is placed
over the status icon for the layer containing overrides.
■ A different icon displays in the Status column.
■ A predefined filter named Viewport Overrides is displayed in the tree view
where all layers with viewport overrides are listed.
Layers that are assigned property overrides are also identifiable outside of the
Layer Properties Manager. Other areas of the user interface that indicate which
layers are assigned property overrides are as follows:
■ Layers toolbar. A background color displays behind layer names for the
current viewport. For color overrides, the override color is displayed instead
of the global color.
■ Properties toolbar. Displays ByLayer (VP) and a background color for layers
or objects that are assigned property overrides. Override properties are
displayed for color, linetype, and lineweight instead of global properties.
