Open your Layer Properties Manager, - Click on the settings cog wheel, - Look for the Isolate Layer Settings options - Select/click the Off option. Isolate the layer you'd like to isolate using the LAYISO command. (Type LAYISO in the Command line and press Enter. Then select the layer to isolate.) Trees and shrubs, for instance, are on different block layers, so you'll need to choose one of each with the LAYISO tool.

Start the Layer Isolate command. Enter S on the command line. Verify that the current setting is Lock and Fade. Enter O for Off. Modify the Viewport setting. When isolating layers using the Layer Isolate (LAYISO) command, there is different display behavior in AutoCAD and AutoCAD based products. The layers are still.

You want to isolate a Land F/X block, such as a tree or shrub, or an Amenity Reference Note (RefNote) block. Using the LAYISO command turns off everything in your drawing.

Cause

'Smart' Land F/X objects have different layers for the linework inside the blocks, on LK- layers. We do not put any layers within Land F/X on Layer 0, so isolating a block will not isolate the layers within the block.

Solution

Isolating Land F/X objects requires a few more steps because Land F/X blocks include different layers for different types of linework.

Alternatively, if you'd like to just isolate a few species, you can use the ISOLATEOBJECTS command.

1. Isolate the layer you'd like to isolate using the LAYISO command. (Type LAYISO in the Command line and press Enter. Then select the layer to isolate.)

Trees and shrubs, for instance, are on different block layers, so you'll need to choose one of each with the LAYISO tool.

Everything will disappear from view in your drawing.

2. Type LA in the Command line and press Enter to open the Layer Properties Manager.

The original motivation behind this project was to create an easy, convenient way to extract files from installation packages, such as Inno Setup or Windows Installer packages, without pulling up a command line every time. Free extractor software. What it will do is allow you to extract files from virtually any type of archive, regardless of source, compression method, etc. Universal Extractor is a program do to exactly what it says: extract files from any type of archive, whether it's a simple zip file, an installation program (like Wise or NSIS), or even a Windows Installer (.msi) package.This application is not intended to be a general purpose archiving program. It will never replace WinRAR, 7-Zip, etc.

Search for LK* in the search bar in the top right corner (pictured to the right).

3. Use select all applicable LK layers (like LK-TREE and LK-SHRB). Turn them all on. (You can hold down the SHIFT or CONTROL key to select multiple layers at once.)

Your blocks will now be isolated for you to do what you need to do.

4. Once finished, you can use the LAYUNISO to un-isolate the layers. All layers will turn back on as they were before you used the LAYISO command.

Issue:

When isolating layers using the Layer Isolate (LAYISO) command, there is different display behavior in AutoCAD and AutoCAD based products. The layers are still visible and appear semi-transparent rather than hidden.

Causes:

Cad Isolate Layer Settings

The change in display behavior is caused by different standard setting for the LAYISO command. There are two possibilites for the behavior of unselected elements:
  • Lock and shade the unselect elements
  • Turn the unselect elements off

Isolate Layer Settings Autocad

By default the Lock and shade will be used.

  • Change the setting from 'Lock and fade' to 'Off'. (see LAYISO (Command)
