When switching space (model space to layout space or layout to viewport),
the Layer Properties Manager is updated and displays the current state of the
layer properties and filter selection in the current space.
List of Options
The following options are displayed.
New Property Filter
Displays the
Layer Filter Properties dialog box, where you can create a layer
filter based on one or more properties of the layers.
New Group Filter
Creates a layer filter that contains layers that you select and add to the filter.
Layer States Manager
Displays the
Layer States Manager on page 1007, in which you can save the
current property settings for layers in a named layer state and then restore
those settings later.
New Layer
Creates a new layer. The list displays a layer named LAYER1. The name is
selected so that you can enter a new layer name immediately. The new layer
inherits the properties of the currently selected layer in the layer list (color,
on or off state, and so on).
The new layer is created below the last currently selected layer.
New Layer Frozen VP In All Viewports
Creates a new layer and freezes it in all existing layout viewports. This button
is accessible from the Model tab or layout tabs.
Delete Layer
Deletes selected layers. You can delete only unreferenced layers. Referenced
layers include layers 0 and DEFPOINTS, layers containing objects (including
objects in block definitions), the current layer, and xref-dependent layers.
Layers in a partially opened drawing are also considered referenced and cannot
be deleted.
NOTE Be careful about deleting layers if you are working on a drawing in a shared
project or one based on a set of layering standards.
