Description
Freezes the selected layers in all viewports except the current one, either within a layout or across all layouts.
Note:
- This command operates only in Paper Space.
- This command requires two or more Paper Space viewports.
Method
When you run the command, the current settings are displayed in the Command line. To change the current settings, choose the Settings option before selecting an entity.
Note: The selected settings remain valid across BricsCAD® sessions.
Click any layout viewport to make it the current viewport.
Based on the current settings, you are prompted to select an entity on the layer you want to be isolated in the current viewport.
Note: Each viewport has its own layer of visibility settings.
Options within the command
- Settings
- Allows you to change the layouts or block selection settings.
- Layouts

- Freezes the layers of selected entities in the viewports of all layouts (except for the current viewport).
- Current layout

- Block selection
- Allows you to configure which layers are frozen when blocks, xrefs, nested blocks, or nested xrefs are selected.
- Block
- Freezes only layers of the selected blocks, even if it is part of a nested block, xref, or nested xref.

Note:- Inserted blocks or attached xrefs are assigned to the current layer.
- The entire block or xref is highlighted when the mouse hovers over it, but freezing is done based on the setting made at the block nesting level.
- Undo
- Undoes the last layer freeze and continues the selection.
