Work with Layers | 185
Thawed setting of the layers in a drawing, ignoring all other settings. When
you restore the layer state, all settings remain as they are currently set except
whether each layer is frozen or thawed.
Using the Layer States Manager, you can export saved layer states to an LAS
file for use in other drawings. The layer states of external references cannot
be exported.
Restore Layer Settings
In addition to restoring previously saved layer settings, you can edit, rename,
or delete the named settings. You can also import saved layer settings that
were exported to LAS files.
Whether you restore a layer state saved in a drawing or a layer state imported
from an LAS file, only the layer settings (layer states and layer properties) that
were specified when the layer state was saved are restored: all layer settings
that were not specified remain unchanged.
To save layer settings
1 From the Format menu, choose Layer.
2 In the Layer Properties Manager, choose Save State.
3 In the Save Layer States dialog box, enter a name for the new layer state.
4 Select the layer states and layer properties to be saved.
