Freezing Layers

Use the FreezeLayer command to freeze the layer of a selected entity.

  You cannot freeze the active Layer.

When a Layer is frozen, it is protected and invisible.

To unfreeze a Layer, use the ThawLayers command.

To freeze a Layer:

1. Do one of the following:
   • On the menu, click Format > Layer Tools > Freeze Layers.
   • 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.
