AIM: - To set the layers and to learn and manage the layers.
Description:
LAYER: The command “LAYER” manages layers. It makes a layer current,
adds new layers, deletes layers and renames layers. One can assign
properties to layers, turn layers on and off, freeze and thaw layers globally or
by view port, lock and unlock layers, set plot styles for layers, and turn
plotting on and off for layers. Also, one can filter the layer names displayed in
the Layer Properties Manager, and can save and restore layer states and
properties settings.
By creating layers, one can associate similar types of objects by assigning
them to the same layer. For example, construction lines, text, dimensions, and
title blocks can be put on separate layers and can then be controlled to check
 Whether the objects on a layer are visible in any view ports
 Whether and how the objects are plotted
 What color is assigned to all the objects on a layer
 What default line type and line weight is assigned to all objects
on a layer
 Whether objects on a layer can be modified
When a new drawing is begun, AutoCAD creates a special layer named 0. By
default, layer 0 is assigned colour number 7 (white or black depending upon
your background colour), the CONTINUOUS line type, a line weight of
Default (the default setting is
.01 inch or .25 mm), and the NORMAL plot style. Layer 0 cannot be
deleted or renamed.
Procedure:
From Format menu, select Layer
At the command prompt, enter LAYER or LA

The Layer & Line type properties dialog box appears


Command: LAYER
Various icons and buttons in the dialog box indicate various statuses of
layers and layer management tools.
Named Layer Filters
Determines which layers to display in the list of layers. You can filter layers
based on whether they're xref-dependent, or whether they contain objects. You
can also filter layers based on name, visibility, color, line type, line weight, plot
style name, whether they are plotted, or whether they are frozen in the current
view port or in new view ports.
[...] Button: Displays the Named layer filters dialog box
Invert Filter: Displays layers based on the opposites of the criteria in a
named layer filter. Layers that fit the inverse criteria are displayed in the
layer name list.
New
Creates a new layer. After you choose New, the list displays a layer named
LAYER1. You can edit this layer immediately. To create multiple layers
more quickly, you can select a layer name for editing and enter multiple
layer names separated by commas. If you create a new layer, the new
layer inherits the properties of the currently selected layer in the layer list
(Color, On/Off state, and so on). To create layers with default settings,
make sure that there are no selected layers in the list or that you select a
layer with default settings before beginning layer creation.
Current
Sets the selected layer as the current layer
Delete
Deletes selected layers from the drawing file definition. You can delete

only un referenced layers. Referenced layers include layers 0 and


DEFPOINTS, layers containing objects, the current layer, and xref-
dependent layers. Layers that don't contain objects, are not current, and
are not xref-dependent can be deleted.
List of Layers: Displays layers and their properties. To modify a
property, click its icon. To quickly select all the layers, use the right-
click and shortcut menu.
Names: Displays the names of the layers. You can select a name and
then click and enter a new name.
On/Off: Turns layers on and off. When a layer is on, it is visible and
available for plotting. When a layer is off, it is invisible and not plotted,
even if Plot is on.
Freeze/ Thaw selected layers in all view ports.
You can freeze layers to speed up ZOOM, PAN, and many other
operations; improve object selection performance; and reduce
regeneration time for complex drawings. AutoCAD does not display, plot,
hide, render, or regenerate objects on frozen layers. When you thaw a
frozen layer, AutoCAD regenerates and displays the objects on that layer.
You can freeze layers in all view ports, in the current layout view port, or
in new layout view ports as they are created.
Lock/Unlock: Locks and unlocks the layers. You cannot edit objects on a
locked layer. Locking a layer is useful if you want to view information on a
layer for reference but do not want to edit objects on that layer.
Color: Changes the color associated with the selected layers. Clicking the
color name displays the select color dialog box.
Linetype: Changes the line type associated with the selected layers.
Clicking any line type name displays the select Line type color dialog box.
Lineweight: Changes the line weight associated with the selected layers.

Clicking any line weight name displays the select Line weight color dialog
box.
Plot Style: Changes the plot style associated with the selected layers. If
you are working with color-dependent plot styles you cannot change the
plot style associated with a layer. Clicking any plot style displays the
select plot style dialog box.
Arc selection If you select an arc, AutoCAD determines the defining
points for a three-point angular dimension. The center of the arc is the
angle vertex. The arc endpoints become the origin points of the extension
lines.
