Locking Layers

When you lock a Layer, you cannot modify entities on that Layer. When selecting entities on locked Layers, grips do not display.

Use the LockLayer command to lock one or several Layers by selecting entities. Alternatively, you can lock Layers using the Layers Manager.

To lock a Layer:

1. Click Format > Layer Tools > Lock Layer (or type LockLayer).
2. In the graphics area, select an entity on the Layer you want to lock.

   - or -

   Specify the Multiple option, then specify the entities on the Layers you want to lock, and press Enter to complete the command.
