Creating a Nonstandard Layer
Use this procedure to create a nonstandard layer. A nonstandard layer is a
layer that does not need to conform to the layer standard. You might want
to use nonstandard layers for elements like architect’s comments or
construction lines, blocks you do not want to insert on their original layer,
or walls that you want to display partially.
1 If necessary, open the Layer Properties Manager by clicking Home
tab ➤ Layers panel ➤ Layer Properties .
