1. Autocad layers - has a number of states and properties that define its display
and behavior in the drawing.

2. Layers are the primary method for organizing the objects in a drawing by
function or purpose. Layers are effectively a way of ordering your drawing. It
gives you more options to control the appearance, editing, and plotting of the
drawing entities. Layers allow you farther to extract objects easily from your
draw, or select them to make some change. Layers can reduce the visual
complexity of a drawing and improve display performance by hiding
information that you don’t need to see at the moment

3. Properties of layers are:

a. Color: Changes the color of objects on the layer. Clicking the color name
displays the Select Color dialog box.
b. Linetype: Changes the linetype of objects on the layer. Clicking the
linetype name displays the Select Linetype dialog box.
c. Lineweight: Changes the lineweight of objects on the layer. Clicking the
lineweight name displays the Lineweight dialog box.
d. Plot style: If you are working with color-dependent plot styles
(PSTYLEPOLICY = 1), you cannot change the plot style associated with a
layer. Clicking the plot style displays the Select Plot Style dialog box.
e. Description: You can add a description to the layer. if your layers are
created with a layer standard, the description is filled in automatically.
In that case, it is recommended to not overwrite it.
4. You can add, delete, and rename layers, change their properties, set property
overrides in layout viewports, and add layer descriptions. The Layer Property
Manager includes a Filters panel and a layer list panel. Layer filters control
which layers are displayed in the layer list, and can also be used to make
changes to several layers at a time. The Layer Properties Manager is always
updated and displays the current state of the layer properties and filter
selection in the current space, model space, a paper space layout, or in model
space in a layout viewport.
5. Setting the visibility of layers within each viewport: You can change the
visibility of layers in a viewport by clicking inside the viewport and freezing a
layer or layers in that viewport. To accomplish this, double-click in the
viewport you want select the drop-down list of layers on the toolbar and select
the layer you want to freeze and select the icon for "freezing the layer in a
viewport." It looks like a sun over a rectangle. Note, do not select the icon for
"freezing" the layer, because it will freeze it in all viewports, as well as in
model space. It is just a plain sun without a rectangle behind it. Check each
viewport to make sure that all layers you want to show on the plot are thawed
and are visible on the screen.

6. Creating a layer for the dimensions, one for the objects (lines that were drawn)
and another for the text. Start the LAYER command (LA <enter>). This will
bring up the Layer Properties Manager Palette. Now you have the dialog box on
your screen, click the “New” button. This will create a new layer and give you
an opportunity to name it. Name this layer TEXT. Click on the small box in the
color column and select yellow for the color. Create another layer and call this
one DIMS (for dimensions), and make its color red. Finally, create a third layer
and call it OBJECT and make its color green. You have just created three new
layers in your drawing. Highlight the TEXT layer and then press the ‘Make
Current’ button. This makes the TEXT layer current and anything you will draw
will be placed on that layer.
