Freezing Layers

When a Layer is frozen, it is protected and invisible. To unfreeze a Layer, use the ThawLayers command.

To freeze a Layer:

1. Click Format > Layer Tools > Freeze Layer (or type FreezeLayer).
2. Select a drawing entity on the Layer you want to freeze or specify an option:
• Settings: Specify what to use in Sheet viewports:
• Vtfrozen: Freezes the specified Layer in the current viewport only
• Frozen: Freezes the specified Layer in all viewports.
• Undo: Cancels the previous FreezeLayer command.
3. The Layer you specify becomes protected with all entities invisible.
4. Press Enter.
   

  You cannot freeze the active Layer.
