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.

   The Layer you specify becomes protected with all entities invisible.

3. Press Enter.

You cannot freeze the active Layer.
