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

Value

Description

0

Locked layers are not faded

>0

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

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.
