View Layer

This macro allows the user to display all layers containing displayable objects individually in a slide-show type manner. The user may click on the Next and Previous buttons to change the layer display, or pick one from the drop-down list. The form is non-modal so the user may perform other commands or functions while the macro is active. If the Restore view on exit box is checked when the macro is exited the layer display is returned to its original state.

AutoCAD Command: -vbarun ViewLayer
