There are two kinds of layer filters
■ Layer property filter Includes layers that have names or other properties
in common. For example, you can define a filter that includes all layers
that are red and whose names include the letters mech.
■ Layer group filter Includes the layers that are put into the filter when you
define it, regardless of their names or properties. Selected layers can be
added from the layer list by dragging them to the filter.
The tree view in the Layer Properties Manager displays default layer filters and
any named filters that you create and save in the current drawing. The icon
next to a layer filter indicates the type of filter. Five default filters are displayed
■ All. Displays all the layers in the current drawing. (Filter is always displayed.)
■ All Used. Displays all the layers on which objects in the current drawing
are drawn. (Filter is always displayed.)
■ 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.
■ Unreconciled New Layers. If new layers were added since the drawing was
last opened, saved, reloaded, or plotted, displays a list of new unreconciled
layers. See Reconcile New Layers on page 407 for more information.
NOTE The default filters cannot be renamed, edited, or deleted.
Once you have named and defined a layer filter, you can select it in the tree
view to display the layers in the list view. You can also apply the filter to the
Layers toolbar, so that the Layer control displays only the layers in the current
filter.
When you select a filter in the tree view and right-click, options on the shortcut
menu can be used to delete, rename, or modify filters. For example, you can
convert a layer property filter to a layer group filter. You can also change a
property of all layers in a filter. The Isolate Group option turns off all layers
in the drawing that are not in the selected filter.
