Working with Layer Groups
With the Layer Manager, you can create different layer groups to produce working views and backgrounds from large
building data sets. Layer groups help you work more efficiently in drawings that have many layers. You can change
the settings of a layer group to apply the changes to all layers in the group at one time. For example, you can lock a
layer group to lock all the layers in the filter.
Types of Layer Groups
There are five types of layer groups:
Description
Type
Is always present and lists all the layers and other layer groups in the
drawing.
All
Lists any layers in external reference files linked with the current
drawing. This group is automatically created when you xref a drawing
into the current drawing.
Xref
Contain layers that you have assigned to them.
group filters
Contain layers based on a filter that you specify for the group. You
can base filters on layer names and other layer properties.
property filters
Contain layers associated with a specified standards category.
layer standards filters
Rules for Layer Groups
