Any way to save layer format?
(OP)
I am in the middle of a complex drawing and have a need to frequently visit the same "view" as far as what layers are turned on and off.
My drawing has about 80 layers and about 50 of them are almost never needed to be turned on while I am drawing.
Is there a way to flip flop between what layers are on and off without having to go into the layer menu?
I need a way to hit one button and have the same 28 or 29 layers turned on and the rest turned off and frozen.
There has to be a way to do this yes?
Thanks!

(DEFUN C:Layers1 (/ ) ; Swap Layers
(COMMAND "LAYER" "TH" "*" "FR" "Layer1,Layer2,Layer3" "")
(PRINC))
Use the * to represent wild cards if possible, like Layer* for all layers whose name begins with "Layer".
