Displaying layers

You can show and hide different drawing elements to control their visibility. When you hide a layer, you cannot see the elements assigned to that layer. For example, you can assign text notes to one layer and dimensions to another layer. Then, if you turn off the layer for notes and turn on the layer for dimensions, you see only the dimensions.

• You can show or hide a layer using the Show Layer button or the Hide Layer button on the Layers tab. You also can find these commands on the shortcut menu of a selected layer.

  For more information, see Control layer display and locate layers.

• You also can control whether the elements on a layer are selectable using the Make Non-Locatable and Make Locatable shortcut commands.

• Using the Auto-Hide layer, you can manage the show and hide state of objects in one location.
