Properties Menu

Layer Properties
With the Layer Properties dialog, you can change the visibility and color of layers. Click on layer icons to make changes.

Turn a layer off rather than freezing the layer if you frequently need to switch a layer’s visibility. Layers that are turned off are generated during a regeneration of the drawing but are not displayed.

Freeze a layer if you do not need that layer to be visible for a long period of time. Layers that are frozen are not generated during a regeneration of a drawing.

Prevent objects on a layer from being modified by locking it.

To change the color associated with a layer, click the color icon to display the Color dialog box.
