Work with Layers
Layers are like transparent overlays on which you organize and group objects
in a drawing.
Overview of Layers
Layers are used to group information in a drawing by function and to enforce
linetype, color, and other standards.
Layers are the equivalent of the overlays used in paper-based drafting. Layers
are the primary organizational tool used in drawing. Use layers to group
information by function and to enforce linetype, color, and other standards.
By creating layers, you can associate similar types of objects by assigning them
to the same layer. For example, you can put construction lines, text,
dimensions, and title blocks on separate layers. You can then control the
following:
■ Whether objects on a layer are visible or dimmed in any viewports
■ Whether and how objects are plotted
■ What color is assigned to all objects on a layer
