- The prevent layers used using the plotters for plotting provides the layer manager that allow easy options to customize the application. - The layers used in layer manager have specific options like:- Turning off the layers- Freezing the layers- Turning off the layers for plotting- Layers used in the plotting remain visible on the screen and doesn’t provide the output to the printer. - Individual layers can also be set up in specific viewports that allows drawing of the layers that contains the systems applications and options. - It uses the viewport concept that allows the different layers to be frozen on the view port and this way it can be hidden from other layers.

In the layer properties manager there options

  1. Turn on/off
  2. Freeze/Thaw
  3. Lock /un lock

the freeze option can be used for hide specific layers while plotting(Turn off also can be used)
