?—List Layers
Displays a list of the currently defined layers, showing their names, states,
color numbers, linetypes, lineweights, and whether they are externally
dependent layers.
Make
Creates a layer and makes it current. New objects are drawn on the current
layer.
If no layer exists for the name you enter, a new layer with that name is created.
The new layer is on and assumes the following properties by default: color
number 7, the CONTINUOUS linetype, and a lineweight of DEFAULT.
If the layer exists but is turned off, it is turned on.
Set
Specifies a new current layer but does not create the layer if it does not already
exist. If the layer exists but is turned off, it is turned on and made current. A
frozen layer cannot be made current.
New
Creates layers. You can create two or more layers by entering names separated
by commas.
Rename
Renames an existing layer.
On
Makes selected layers visible and available for plotting.
Off
Makes selected layers invisible and excludes them from plotting.
