Layer Control and Tabbed Views

The Layers tab of the Properties dialog contains a duplicate of the layer list in the Layers Window although the visibility status of layers may differ. By default, the Layers Window takes precedence over the view properties. Check the Override box to override the settings in the Layers Window.

You can use this to assign different layer options to each of the tabs. See Assigning Different Layer Options to Tabbed Views.

The Select to hide option allows you to select an entity on the layer you wish to hide. Check the Select to hide box and press OK. You will then be prompted to digitize entities on the layer to exclude.
