drawing. You can freeze a layer in all viewports, in the current layout viewport,
or in new layout viewports as they are created.
Lock Locks and unlocks the selected layers. Objects on a locked layer cannot
be modified.
Color Changes the color associated with the selected layers. Clicking the color
name displays the
Select Color dialog box.
Linetype Changes the linetype associated with the selected layers. Clicking
the linetype name displays the Select Linetype dialog box.
Lineweight Changes the lineweight associated with the selected layers.
Clicking the lineweight name displays the Lineweight dialog box.
Transparency Controls the visibility of all objects on the selected layer. When
transparency is applied to individual objects, the objects’ transparency property
overrides the transparency setting of the layer. Clicking the Trasparency value
displays the Layer Transparency dialog box on page 996.
Plot Style Changes the plot style associated with the selected layers. If you
are working with color-dependent plot styles (the PSTYLEPOLICY system
variable is set to 1), you cannot change the plot style associated with a layer.
Clicking the plot style displays the Select Plot Style dialog box.
Plot Controls whether the selected layers are plotted. If you turn off plotting
for a layer, the objects on that layer are still displayed. Layers that are off or
frozen are not plotted, regardless of the Plot setting.
VP Freeze (available only from a layout tab) Freezes selected layers in the
current layout viewport. You can freeze or thaw layers in the current viewport
without affecting layer visibility in other viewports.
VP Freeze is an override to the Thaw setting in the drawing. That is, you can
freeze a layer in the current viewport if it's thawed in the drawing, but you
can't thaw a layer in the current viewport if it's frozen or off in the drawing.
A layer is not visible when it is set to Off or Frozen in the drawing.
New VP Freeze Freezes selected layers in new layout viewports. For example,
freezing the DIMENSIONS layer in all new viewports restricts the display of
dimensions on that layer in any newly created layout viewports but does not
affect the DIMENSIONS layer in existing viewports. If you later create a
viewport that requires dimensions, you can override the default setting by
changing the current viewport setting.
VP Color (available only from a layout tab) Sets an override for the color
associated with the selected layer for the active layout viewport.
