Layer Freeze

[tchop]

Autocad14 Had a bonus tool which was great when I wanted to freeze layers in a reference file. I could use Bonus Layer Freeze and then just click on the layer that I wanted to freeze. I dont see that option with ABS 2004. Right now I have to use xlist then identify by name the layer that I want to freeze then go to the layer control dialog box and scroll through a couple of hundred layers to freeze the one I want. Is there a faster way to do this?

Thanks in advance

You can download the express tools for 2004 or use this simple lisp command:

(defun c:frzlay ()
(command "-layer" "f" (cdr (assoc '8 (entget (car (nentsel))))) "")
)

The Express Tools (formerly known as Bonus Tools)
are on one of the many ABS4 CD's.

If you think you may already have it installed,
type EXPRESSMENU at the command line...  Type Y <enter>.  It
should load it up "auto-magically".

Command: expressmenu

Perform a full rebuild of the Express Tools menu
before loading it? <N>:
