Control the Display of Layers

Layers are like transparent overlays on which objects in a drawing are organized and grouped.

Topics in this section
  • Overview of Layers
    Layers are used to group information in a drawing by function and to enforce linetype, color, and other standards.
  • Use Layers to Manage Complexity
    You can use layers to control the visibility of objects and to assign properties to objects.
  • Override Layer Properties in Viewports
    You can display objects differently by setting property overrides for color, linetype, lineweight, and plot style and apply them to individual layout viewports.
  • Filter and Sort the List of Layers
    You can control which layer names are listed in the Layer Properties Manager and sort them by name or by property, such as color or visibility.
