Use layers to control the visibility of objects and to assign properties such as
color and linetype. Objects on a layer normally assume the properties of that
layer. However, you can override any layer property of an object. For example,
if an object’s color property is set to BYLAYER, the object displays the color
of that layer. If the object’s color is set to Red, the object displays as red,
regardless of the color assigned to that layer.

Summary
You can add, delete, and rename layers, change their properties, set property
overrides for layout viewports, or add layer descriptions and apply changes
in realtime. You do not need to click Ok or Apply to view property changes.
Layer filters control which layers are displayed in the list and can also be used
to make changes to more than one layer at a time.
