out. A landing can either be a straight line or a spline curve.

layer
A logical grouping of data that are like transparent acetate overlays on a
drawing. You can view layers individually or in combination. (LAYER)
layer index
A list showing the objects on each layer. A layer index is used to locate what

layer index with a drawing also enhances performance when you work with
external references. The INDEXCTL system variable controls whether layer
and spatial indexes are saved with a drawing.

to be plotted. Multiple layouts can be created for each drawing.
layout viewports
