Linetype
Changes the linetype associated with the selected layers. Clicking the
linetype name displays the Select Linetype Dialog Box.
Lineweight
Changes the lineweight associated with the selected layers. Clicking the
lineweight name displays the Lineweight Dialog Box.
Plot Style
Changes the plot style associated with the selected layers. If you are working
with color-dependent plot styles (the PSTYLEPOLICY system variable is set
to 1), you cannot change the plot style associated with a layer. Clicking the
plot style displays the Select Plot Style Dialog Box.
Plot
Controls whether the selected layers are plotted. If you turn off plotting for
a layer, the objects on that layer are still displayed. Layers that are off or
frozen are not plotted, regardless of the Plot setting.
Current VP Freeze (available only from a layout tab)
Freezes selected layers in the current layout viewport. You can freeze or
thaw layers in the current viewport without affecting layer visibility in other
viewports.
Current VP Freeze is an override to the Thaw setting in the drawing. That
is, you can freeze a layer in the current viewport if it's thawed in the drawing,
but you can't thaw a layer in the current viewport if it's frozen or off in the
drawing. A layer is not visible when it is set to Off or Frozen in the drawing.
New VP Freeze (available only from a layout tab)
Freezes selected layers in new layout viewports. For example, freezing the
DIMENSIONS layer in all new viewports restricts the display of dimensions
on that layer in any newly created layout viewports but does not affect the
DIMENSIONS layer in existing viewports. If you later create a viewport that
requires dimensions, you can override the default setting by changing the
current viewport setting.
