To Remove Viewport Layer Overrides

You can remove layer overrides from layout viewports.

There are different options to make removing viewport overrides efficient and intuitive:

To remove a single override from a selected layer

To remove all overrides from a selected layer

To remove all overrides from all overridden layers

  1. Make the layout viewport active that has viewport layer override you want to remove.
  2. If necessary, open the Layer Properties Manager by clicking Home tabLayers panelLayer Properties.
  3. In the list of layers, right-click the overridden setting you want to remove, and click Remove Viewport Overrides for.

    Depending on the setting you have right-clicked, a submenu displays for the setting:

    • Color
    • Linetype
    • Lineweight
    • Plot Style
  4. Click the desired submenu, and click one of these commands:
    • In Current Viewport only: This will remove the override from the selected layer in the current viewport only. For example if you have clicked Remove Viewport Overrides for Color In Current Viewport only, then only the overridden color in the currently active viewport for the selected layer will be reset to the global color.
    • In All Viewports: This will remove the selected override from the selected layer in all layout viewports. For example if you have clicked Remove Viewport Overrides for Color In All Viewports, then any color overrides for the selected layer in any layout viewport in the drawing will be reset to the global color.
  5. Make the layout viewport active in which you want to remove all viewport overrides from a layer.
  6. If necessary, open the Layer Properties Manager by clicking Home tabLayers panelLayer Properties.
  7. In the list of layers, right-click the layer name or status icon from which you want to remove all overrides, and click Remove Viewport Overrides for Selected Layers.
  8. Click one of these two commands:
    • In Current Viewport only: This will remove all overrides from the selected layer in the current viewport only.
    • In All Viewports: This will remove all overrides from the selected layer in all layout viewports, and reset them to their global properties.
