The Layer  menu consists of a number of tools that provide various shortcuts for working with layers.




Toolbar : Layer   
     
Menu : GeoTools Layer  Isolate layer(s)
Command line : GT_ISOD
The GT_ISOD command is used to isolate (segregate) layer-wise data from large complex drawings. It thaws and switches on the layers of selected objects and freezes all other layers in the drawing.

The GT_ISOD command provides two ways to select layers to isolate – by picking an object on the layer or by selecting from a list.

Note: GT_ISOD command stores the current layer settings as GEOTOOLS_ISO and can be restored using the GT_RESTORE command.
