Inside AutoCAD® 2002

Summary

Managing objects through the new Layer Properties Manager improves your ability to organize your drawings. By using Layer Properties Manager’s features, you can control object properties such as color, linetype, and lineweight, and you can control object behavior, such as object visibility.

In this chapter, you learned about the importance of layer standards. You also learned about the difference between turning off layers versus freezing them. You worked with layer filters, and discovered how you can use wildcard characters to create sophisticated layer filters. Finally, you touched on how to use saved layer states to increase your layer management proficiency.
