Find
Type:Integer
Saved in:Registry
Initial value:50

Fades the objects on locked layers to contrast them with objects on unlocked layers and reduces the visual complexity of a drawing. Objects on locked layers are still visible for reference and for object snapping.

The range for controlling the fading for objects on locked layers is from -90 to 90.

0

Locked layers are not faded

>0

When the value is positive, controls the percent of fading up to 90 percent

<0

When the value is negative, locked layers are not faded, but the value is saved for switching to that value by changing the sign

Note: The fading value is limited to 90 percent to avoid confusion with layers that are turned off or frozen.
