Isolating Several Layers Using Filter Mac

[kmarmstrong]

Hey guys, on windows this is easy. For the life of me I can't figure it out on mac besides having to create a group of the opposite layers to freeze. I want to be able to filter my layers, and isolate the layers I filter right there. But I can't seem to do that. Help.

Hi @kmarmstrong ,

You can create Layer Group in AutoCAD for Mac using Layers Palette, it could be Dynamic group - Layer Group Based on Layer Properties - or Layer Group created by selecting Layers.

After Layer Group is created, you can change the state (Visibility, Freeze, Lock) of the whole Group context menu - right-click on Group Name and select options from context menu:

This doesn't actually give me the solution of isolating the group... which is what I was looking for. But I think I found a work around. Thank you!

What was the work around that you found ? I've been trying to use select similar however this leads to other unintended consequences.

Hi @stnada002 

Maybe LAYISO command?
