Layer manager
(AutoCAD command - LMan )
Layer Manager manages
layer settings by allowing you to save and restore layer configurations
into layer states. Layer states can be modified, restored, or renamed
during an AutoCAD session. Layer states are saved in the drawing, but
they can also be exported to or imported from a LAY file.
1. Layer States
MUST corrospond to the ARCH drawings for e.g. A100.dwg, A001.dwg etc for
permit/bid/ furniture, etc. For help with standard ARCH drawing names,
go to Construction Document Standards
page.
