This is used to freeze layers by picking an object on that layer.
Keyboard Command: LayTblFrz
After issuing the command, pick on one object (of any type) on a layer you want to freeze. The program will immediately highlight all objects on the chosen layer. Continue to pick one object per layer you wish to freeze.
- Alerts: If you select an object on a layer that is already selected, the routine will alert you. If you attempt to freeze the current layer, the program will alert you that it cannot process that layer, since it is not a valid AutoCAD operation.
- Remove Mode: If you make a mistake and select an object on a layer you do not wish to freeze, simply press 'R" to enter the REMOVE mode. While in the remove mode, selecting an object removes it's layer from the group to be frozen. To return to the process of adding layer, simple press 'A' for the ADD mode.
You can exit the command by pressing ^C. To immediately reverse the effects of the command, use the standard AutoCAD Undo. After working with the drawing, if you wish to thaw the set of layers frozen by this command, use the layer thaw (LT) command.
