Viewport In the current layout viewport, controls the VP Freeze setting of
the layers in the selected layer filter. This option is not available for model
space viewports.
■ Freeze: Sets VP Freeze for layers in the filter. In the current viewport, objects
on the layer are not displayed and not plotted but do hide other objects
when you use HIDE. The drawing is regenerated when you thaw the layer.
■ Thaw: Clears VP Freeze for layers in the filter. In the current viewport,
objects on the layer are displayed and plotted and hide other objects when
you use HIDE. This option does not thaw layers that are set to Off or Frozen
in the drawing.
Isolate Group Turns off all layers not in the selected filter. The layers that are
visible are the layers in the filter.
■ All Viewports: In all viewports in a layout, sets VP Freeze for all layers that
are not in the selected filter. In model space, turns off all layers that are
not in the selected filter.
■ Active Viewport Only: In the current layout viewport, sets VP Freeze for all
layers that are not in the selected filter. In model space, turns off all layers
that are not in the selected filter.
New Properties Filter Displays the
Layer Filter Properties dialog box, where
you can create a new layer filter based on layer names and settings; for example,
on or off, color, or linetype.
New Group Filter Creates a new layer group filter named GROUP FILTER1
and adds it to the tree view. Enter a new name. Select the All filter or any
other layer filter in the tree view to display layers in the list view, and then
drag layers from the list view into the new layer group filter in the tree view.
Convert to Group Filter Converts the selected layer property filter to a layer
group filter. Changing the properties of the layers in a layer group filter has
no effect on the filter.

Delete Deletes the selected layer filter. You cannot delete the All, All Used
Layers, or Xref filters. This option deletes the layer filter but not the layers in
the filter.

Layer Filter Properties dialog box, where you can
modify the definition of the selected layer property filter. This option is
available only when a layer property filter is selected.
