1. On the Layer Panel, select the layer that you want to show.

2. Invoke Layer Hide Others using the Find Tool by searching the command name and clicking the icon. All unselected layers become hidden. The active layer is shown if it was hidden before invoking Layer Hide Others. Save the drawing if you want to keep the show/hide conditions.

Alternative: Select a layer on the Layer Panel, right-click, and select Layer Hide Others from the context menu.

Note: You can undo Layer Hide Others using Revert or Undo. If you Save the drawing, you can no longer Revert, but you can still Undo.

  • The active layer is the layer that is selected in the Layer Panel.
  • Plotting does not print hidden layers. What you see in the drawing in the Drawing Editor is what you see on the printed drawing.
  • The hidden/shown state of layers is retained when you Save a drawing. This means that some layers may be hidden when you open a drawing.
