Current layer settings can be saved to a layer state, which can be changed and its layer settings restored to the drawing later.
Save Layer States
Layer states like on or locked and layer properties are all layer settings, which can be saved in a named layer state. For example, You can choose only restore the On/Off setting of the layers and ignore all other settings. Which means, that all the current layer settings will remain except the on or off setting.
Restore Layer States
All the layer settings (layer states and layer properties) have saved in the layer state can be restored. When you choose to restore a layer state, you can select the settings to be restored.
Import and Export Layer States
You can export layer states as LAS file and import it in other drawings. You can also import layer states that are saved in drawing files (DWG, DWS and DWT). You can import multiple layer states from the "Import Layer State" dialog box.
