Isolates layers associated with entities that you select in the drawing; all other layers are either locked or turned off (hidden); short for "layer isolate."
Note: Use the LayUnIso command to unlock or unhide isolated layers.
Accessing the Command

Number of isolated layers: xx.
Notes:
- When only one entity is selected (or multiple entities on the same layer) and this layer is not the current layer, BricsCAD reports:
This layer has been isolated: <LayerName>. This layer is current: <LayerName>. - When no entity on the current layer is selected, the layer of the most recently selected entity becomes the current layer. BricsCAD reports:
Number of isolated layers: xx. This layer is current: <LayerName>. - After running the LAYUNISO command, the layer that was current before is current again.
