You can use a layer filter limits the display of layer names in the Layer Properties Manager.
The following properties can be included in the filter definition:
-
Whether layers are set to be plotted
-
Layer names, colors, linetypes, lineweights, and plot styles
-
Whether layers are locked or unlocked
-
Whether layers are turned on or off
-
Whether layers are frozen or thawed in the current viewport or all viewports
When setting filter conditions, you can also use wild-card characters to filter names by name. For example, typing nare* displays layer name preceded with nare, just click Add button if the filter name has been specified.
You can also use invert filter to display layer names that do not be included filter definition. For example, if all the site plan information of a drawing is contained in multiple layers, which include the word lite as part of the layer name, you should firstly define the filter by way of specifying filter name and inputting *lite* in layer name option, and then click Invert Filter option to display all the information excluded from the site plan information.

-
Show all layers.
-

-
Show all Xref_dependent layers.
The new created filters are displayed in the Name Layer Filters at the Layer Properties Manager. These filters are saved with the drawing.
