Creating a Layer Standards Filter
A layer standards filter contains layers that are associated with a particular
category of a standard. For example, if you create a layer standards filter for
the AIA 2nd Edition standard, and you specify the Major category as the one
to include in the filter, you create a filter that contains all of the drawing
annotation layers.
Creating Layer Standards Filters
Use this procedure to create standards filters. You can specify more than one
standard category for a filter.
