Keeping Track of Layers and Blocks - Mastering AutoCAD for Mac - page 164

The Bottom Line
Organize information with layers. Layers are perhaps the most powerful feature in
AutoCAD. They help to keep drawings well organized, and they give you control over the
visibility of objects. They also let you control the appearance of your drawing by setting col-
ors, line weights, and linetypes.
Master It Describe the process of creating a layer.
Control layer visibility. When a drawing becomes dense with information, it can be dif-
ficult to edit. If you've organized your drawing using layers, you can reduce its complexity by
turning off layers that aren't important to your current session.
Master It Describe two methods for hiding a layer.
Keep track of blocks and layers. At times, you may want a record of the layers or blocks in
your drawing. You can create a list of layers using the log-file feature in AutoCAD.
