Layers toolbar > Layer List

The Layer List, available from the Layers toolbar, displays layer names and their properties. You can control the properties of layers by clicking the property icons. You can make a layer current by simply selecting it from the list.

The controls available in the Layer List are a subset of the controls available in the Layer Manager. For more information, see Layer Manager.

Tip: The Layer List is most useful in conjunction with the other tools available on the Layers toolbar.

Interface

You can change the following properties from the layer list: hide/unhide, freeze/unfreeze, renderable/non-renderable, and color.

Unlike the Layer Manager, where one icon is used for all Off states, the 'Off' icons for each property on the Layer List are unique.

The following are the On and Off icons for each toggled property in the Layer List:

Property On Off
Hide/Unhide (Hidden) (Visible)
Freeze/Unfreeze (Frozen) (Editable)
Renderable/Non-Renderable (Renderable) (Non-renderable)
