Identify Layers with Property Overrides
Layers containing property overrides are identifiable in the Layers palette
when accessed from a layout. You can see which layers have overrides by the
following:
A tooltip displays property override information when the cursor is placed
over the status icon for the layer containing overrides.
A predefined filter named Viewport Overrides is displayed in the tree view
where all layers with viewport overrides are listed.
Identify Viewports with Layer Property Overrides
Use the VPLAYEROVERRIDES system variable to check if the current viewport
contains layer property overrides. When VPLAYEROVERRIDES is equal to 1,
the viewport contains overrides.
You can also use the Properties Inspector palette to determine if a viewport
contains overrides. The Properties Inspector palette displays a Layer Property
Overrides field. The value that displays is the same as the setting for
VPLAYEROVERRIDES.
Remove Layer Property Overrides
When you right-click a layer in the Layers palette, a shortcut menu is displayed
that lists options for removing property overrides. You can remove
A single property override from the selected layer for the selected viewport
or for all selected viewports
All property overrides from the selected layer for the selected viewport or
for all selected viewports
All property overrides from all layers in the selected viewport or for all
selected viewports
NOTE Another method for removing property overrides is to use the shortcut
menu when you right-click the border of the selected viewport or viewports. You
can remove viewport overrides for all layers for that viewport.
Group and Sort the List of Layers
You can control which layer names are listed in the Layers palette and sort
them by name or by property, such as color or visibility.
