LAYER command right-click options

Right-clicking inside the LAYER command pop-up window offers the user features that are mostly hidden from view otherwise:


  • Selecting layers options including Select All layers (CTRL+A is another option), Clear all selected layers, Select ALL Layers except the current active layer, and Invert Selection (select all layers except the ones you have selected when you choose this option).
  • Create a new Layer but Freeze it in all viewports in all layouts in the file you are in.
  • Freeze a selected layer, or layers, in all viewports in all layouts in the file.
  • Thaw a selected layer, or layers, in all viewports in all layouts in the file.
  • Invert Layer Filters, as well quickly accessing layer filter default options.
  • Set a Layer State (basically take a snapshot of all your current layers settings and save to recall later as needed).
  • PLUS the rgular features of creating a new layer, deleting empty layers, renaming and more.
  • More LAYER command features and abilities to follow in future blog entries. Stay tuned.
