Layer States Manager Palette
Command:
  kbLayerTools

The Layer States Manager uses layer States defined in the Projects layer Standard File: Projects.dwg. Switch to the Import Layers to, well, Import Layers.

Local and Referenced Layer Containers

This tree control shows where all the Layers are coming frome: the main drawing, all xrefs, and a setting to choose all layers. What this allows is to be able to change the state of layers independantly of each other.

Available Layers list

After selecting which layers to change, select the Layer State and click the Restore button. Alternately you can double click on the Layer State you want to set current.

Sometimes AutoCAD Architecture wants to freeze Viewport Layers in View Drawings. We don't want that! Use the
Thaw VP Layers
 button to, well, thaw Viewport Layers!
