Layer Commands

Translate

Note: It has been pointed out that there are no specific commands that change the state of layers by picking on them (examples would be "PickOff" "PickFreeze" etc). We feel that it is easier to have a single command to perform all the layer selection methods. For example our LAYROFF command can turn layers off by either typing in the layer names, picking on objects, or selecting layer names from the screen menu or pull-down. So in fact we DO have a "PickOff", it just happens to be the same command that we use for all the other ways to select layers also. Less is more.
