In addition to globally controlling layer visibility with freeze/thaw and on/off, you can also control layer display in individual viewports with the "freeze in current viewport" property. (NOTE: You must be in paperspace or in an active paperspace viewport to use this -- it doesn't work in modelspace.) This allows you to show different aspects of the same model in one file, which you might need with demo/new plans, or partial/enlarged plans.

About the blog
Welcome to Kate's CAD Tips!
I've been sending these tips out to my office once a week for about three years now, and decided to start the blog as a way to put them all in one place. Who knows, maybe they'll help somebody else out there too!
Some of the tips are pretty basic, but hey, we all had to start somewhere.
Most of the tips apply to AutoCAD 2004 & up -- I'll try to note if it's only available in later versions, but no promises. And ALL the tips apply to AutoCAD LT.
As always, if you have a tip you'd like to see featured, send it on in!
