2 In the Layer Translator, choose Settings.
3 In the Settings dialog box, do one of the following:
■ To display objects on selected layers in your drawing, select Show Layer
Contents When Selected. Only the layers selected in the Layer Transla-
tor dialog box are displayed in the drawing area.

Purge Unreferenced Layers
You can use the Layer Translator to purge (delete all) unreferenced layers
from a drawing. For example, if your drawing includes layers that you do not
need, you may want to remove those layers. Reducing the number of layers
makes working with the remaining layers more manageable.
To purge all unreferenced layers from a drawing
1 From the Tools menu, choose CAD Standards ➤ Layer Translator.
2 In the Layer Translator, right-click in the Translate From list, and choose
Purge Layers. All unreferenced layers are deleted from the current
drawing.
