Summary
All layers except the layers of the selected objects are either turned off, frozen in the current layout viewport, or locked,
depending on the current setting. The layers that remain visible and unlocked are called isolated.
List of Prompts
The following prompts are displayed.
Select Objects on the Layer(s) to be Isolated
After selecting one or more objects, all layers except the layers of the selected objects are either turned off, frozen in the current layout viewport, or locked, depending on
the current setting. The layers that remain visible and unlocked are termed isolated.
NoteLocked layers are faded by default. You can specify the percent of the fading from the Lock option in this command. You can
later change the value with the LAYLOCKFADECTL system variable.
If you make changes to layers within a session and you want to restore the layers to the state they were in immediately before
you entered the LAYISO command, use the LAYUNISO command.
