Manage Layer Visibility in a Layout | 595
Thawing the layer restores visibility. The easiest way to freeze or thaw layers
in the current viewport is to use the Layer Properties Manager.
Freeze or Thaw Layers in Paper Space
When you do not want objects in paper space to be displayed or plotted, you
can freeze the layers that contain them. For example, if you do not want to
display layout viewport borders, you can freeze the layer on which the view-
ports were created.
Freeze or Thaw Layers Automatically in New Viewports
You can set visibility defaults for specific layers in all new layout viewports.
For example, you can restrict display of dimensions by freezing the
DIMENSIONS layer in all new viewports. If you create a viewport that requires
dimensions, you can override the default setting by changing the setting in
the current viewport. Changing the default for new viewports does not affect
existing viewports.
Create New Layers That Are Frozen in All Viewports
You can create new layers that are frozen in all existing and new layout view-
ports. Then you can thaw the layers in the viewports you specify. This is a
shortcut for creating a new layer that is visible only in a single viewport.
To freeze or thaw layers in the current layout viewport
1 From the Format menu, choose Layer.
2 In the Layer Properties Manager, select the layers to freeze or thaw and
choose Show Details.
