LAYERSTATE — Layer States

Opens the Layer States Manager.

• Command: LAYERSTATE · Global name: _LAYERSTATE · Alias: LAS, LMAN
• Ribbon: Home › Layers
• Menu: Format

Opens the Layer States Manager. A layer state saves under a name how all layers are set (on, frozen, locked, color, linetype, lineweight...) so that you can return to that setup later. Layer states are saved in the drawing.

Usage

1. Enter LAYERSTATE (or LAS) or click Layer States… in the LAYER.
2. To save the current setup, click New…, type the State name and, optionally, a Description, and click Save. A state with the same name is replaced.
3. To return to a state, choose it in the list and click Restore (or double-click it).

Controls

• Delete: deletes the chosen state; the layers do not change.
• Layer properties to restore: check boxes that decide what is restored from the chosen state: On/Off, Frozen/Thawed, Locked/Unlocked, Plot/No Plot, New VP Frozen, Color, Linetype, Lineweight and Transparency.

Notes

• Restoring a state can be undone with UNDO or with LAYERP.
• From the command line, the stAte option of -LAYER saves, restores and deletes states.
• Layer states are stored in the drawing in the same place as AutoCAD's.
