‘Modify Layer Status’ dialog box

Tool(s): Modify Layer Status

Note: You can only make changes to the layer status when this is permitted by the current privilege set.

Access privileges can be controlled at layer level by means of privilege sets. Privilege sets are generally assigned when there are several people working on the same project: When the Workgroup Manager is installed, each person is granted the rights to one or more privilege sets and can consequently see/edit only the layers associated with those sets.

Workgroup Manager is a program that handles the organization of CAD workstations on local networks. Workgroup Manager makes sure that all projects on all computers can be accessed from all workstations. In addition, Workgroup Managers enables several users to access the same project at the same time, ensuring data consistency.

Current

Modifiable

Sets the layers of the elements clicked to modifiable (you can select several elements).

Visible, frozen

The DEFAULT layer is a layer that is always available to all users. Its status is always Modifiable. You cannot assign format properties to the DEFAULT layer and elements cannot assume their properties from the DEFAULT layer, either.

Current layer - set visible layers to visible, frozen and retain hidden layers

Selects the layer of the element clicked as the current layer and sets all the other visible layers to visible, frozen (except the default layer). The status of hidden, frozen layers stays the same.

Current layer - set all other layers to visible, frozen

Selects the layer of the element clicked as the current layer and sets all the other layers to visible, frozen (except the default layer).

Current layer - set all other layers to modifiable

Selects the layer of the element clicked as the current layer and sets all the other layers to modifiable.

Set all layers to modifiable - retain current layer

Sets all layers to modifiable without changing the current layer.

Undoes changes made to the layer visibility or restores changes you have undone. Using Layer visibility you can display the course of changes made to the layer visibility and undo up to 30 changes. This setting is user-specific and saved separately for each project.
