IMPORTANT When a layer state is saved from the model space, the global layer properties for color, linetype, lineweight,
and plot style are saved in the layer state. When the layer state is restored to the model space, the global layer properties
will be restored as the global layer properties of the drawing. If the layer state is restored to a layout viewport, you can
choose if the settings from the saved layer state are restored either as the global layer properties for the drawing, or as
viewport overrides for that specific viewport.

for the drawing, or as viewport overrides for that specific viewport. When the layer state is restored to the model space
