Welcome to the Forums

 

Yes. There are many ways. One is called LAYISO.

 

Type that at the command line. Select an object which is on the layer you want to view. Right click and choose ENTER. You will only see the objects on that layer.

 

To get your other layers to show again at the command line type LAYUNISO

Is there a way to only see the layers in use in the layer properties manager

Yes

 

Open up the Layers dialog box. To the left you should see a narrow panel with FILTERS written at the top.

 

The first item down is ALL

The second item is ALL USED LAYERS. Choose this one, and any layers which are not used will disappear from view (they will still exist in the drawing though)

You can lock the display of your viewport so you can't pan or zoom in it by clicking on the viewport and locking it thru the properties panel. I don't know of anyway to lock it so you can't enter model space.

One of my coworkers heard about it but didn't get the note down in a training meeting which has passed, so I was wondering if anyone had heard of this as well
