To Control Drawing Viewport Layers (AutoCAD Mechanical Toolset)

You can thaw or freeze layers in a drawing viewport using the Viewport Layer Control dialog box from within the Edit Drawing View dialog box.

2. Select the view to edit.
3. In the Edit View dialog box, choose the Display tab.
4. Choose Advanced Layer Control.
5. In the Viewport Layer Control dialog box, select the Current VP Freeze icon for the layer(s) to thaw or freeze.
6. Click OK.
