8. Open the Layer States Manager dialog box again. Click the More
Restore Options button, the right-facing arrow at the bottom-right
corner, to display additional options.
The items shown in the Layer Properties to Restore section are,
when checked, the features of the layer state that are affected when it
is restored. It is important to note that if you make changes to a layer's
color or lineweight, those changes are lost when the layer state is
restored if those features are checked here.
9. Uncheck the Color, Linetype, and Lineweight options (see Figure 6.59),
and then click the Restore button.
10. The Roof and Fixtures layers are frozen again (see Figure 6.60), and
Floor Plan appears in the Layer State drop-down list.
11. Save this drawing as 06A-FPLAY9.dwg .
As you can see, saving layer states can reduce the number of steps it takes to
restore a specific set of layer properties. In a complex drawing, it isn't uncom-
mon to have a dozen or more saved layer states.
