Layer Management

This section describes the commands available to help you manage your layers. All of the layers created and used are standard CAD layers and can be managed using standard CAD commands. These commands are included for your convenience, but are not necessary. Everything you can do with these commands can be done with standard CAD commands.

These commands specifically change the On setting for the layers, toggling them between On and Off. The Freeze setting for the layers is not changed.

If you run these commands while in a paper space viewport, the VP Freeze setting will be changed as well. This can be helpful when setting up drawings to display only the 2D or 3D layers in a specific viewport. You can use the Turn 2D Layers On (and 3D Layers Off) command in the viewport that should display the 2D pipes and the Turn 3D Layers on (and 2D Layers Off) command in the viewport that should display the 3D pipes. You can then return to model space and use the Turn 2D and 3D Layers On command to display both the 2D and 3D pipes. You can continue to update both the 2D and 3D drafting while you design, but only have the desired view shown in each viewport.

📄️ Turn 2D and 3D Layers On

The Turn 2D and 3D Layers On command turns the 2D and 3D pipe layers on.

📄️ Turn 2D and 3D Layers Off

The Turn 2D and 3D Layers Off command turns the 2D and 3D pipe layers off.

📄️ Turn 2D Layers On (and 3D Layers Off)

The Turn 2D Layers On (and 3D Layers Off) command turns the 2D pipe layers on and the 3D pipe layers off.

📄️ Turn 3D Layers On (and 2D Layers Off)

The Turn 3D Layers On (and 2D Layers Off) command turns the 3D pipe layers on and the 2D pipe layers off.
