Layer utilities

The layer utility commands help you to easily manipulate the On/Off, Thaw/Freeze and Unlocked/Locked layer properties by selecting entities. You can then save the result in a Layer State.

The layer utility commands sit on the Layers toolbar and on the Home / Layers ribbon panel in the Drafting and Modeling workspaces.
