Keyboard: EXPLAYERSTATES

Displays the Explorer with the Layer States list displayed. You can view, create, copy, or edit layer states. You can also import and export layer states.

Layer states are collections of individual layers and their properties. You can restore layer states at any time, which makes it easy to switch between layer configurations according to your tasks.

Layer states can also be imported and exported. For example, to quickly create all the layers you need in a new drawing, create and export a layer state from an existing drawing that has the layers you need, and then import the layer state to the new drawing.
Layer states are saved in the drawing, including drawing templates and exported or imported drawings.

For each layer included in a layer state, you can set the following properties: Color, Linetype, On/Off, Lock/Unlock, Freeze/Thaw, Lineweight, Transparency, Print, New Viewports.
