LAYFRZ command
Freezes layers of selected entities.
Icon: 
Description
Freezes layers of selected entities to hide all entities that are on the same layers as the selected entities.
Method
Select one or more entities on layers you want to freeze. You can continue selecting entities until you press Enter to end the command. The Command line indicates which layers have been frozen:
- This layer has been frozen: LayerName1
- This layer has been frozen: LayerName2
If any of the selected entities are on the current layer, the Command line indicates that layer can’t be frozen:
Cannot freeze layer: LayerName3. It is the current layer.
Options within the command
- Settings
- Allows you to choose to modify viewports or block selection settings.
- Viewports
- Allows you to specify the behavior for layout viewports.
- Freeze: freezes layers in all viewports. This is the default option.
- VPFreeze: freezes layers in the current viewport.
- Block selection
- Allows you to specify the behavior for blocks and external references.
- Block: freezes the layer of the selected block/xref or nested block/xref. This option requires you to select entities by picking each one individually. Where you pick, on a parent or nested block/xref, determines which layer is frozen.
- Entity: freezes the layer of the selected entity within a block/xref or nested block/xref. This option requires you to select entities by picking each one individually. Where you pick, on a parent or nested block/xref, determines which layer is frozen.
- None: this option behaves the same as the Selection option.
- Selection: freezes the layer of selected entities including blocks and external references. It ignores layers of entities within the block or external reference regardless of where you pick the block. This is the default option.
