definition. For more information, see Creating and Editing Layer Standards
on page 760.
After you add overrides to a layer key style, you can turn the overrides on and
off in your current drawing. When the layer key overrides are on, objects that
you create are placed on layers defined by the layer standard definitions and
overridden with the values that you specify. When the layer key overrides are
off, objects that you create are placed on the layers defined only by the layer
keys. You can start using the layer key overrides immediately after you specify
them, or you can use the Overrides On/Off command to switch them on later.
Layer key overrides do not change the layer assignments of existing objects.
Only objects added after an override is enabled are affected by the override.
Specifying Layer Key Overrides
Use this procedure to specify layer key overrides. The layer key overrides that
you specify apply only to the layer keys that have any or all descriptive field
overrides selected in the Layer Key Properties dialog box. For more information,
see Editing Layer Key Styles on page 754.
To specify layer key overrides, you must have a layer key style that is based
on a layer standard. If you base your layer key standard on a nonstandard
style, you cannot specify layer key overrides.
If you do not have all overrides enabled in the Layer Key Overrides dialog box,
objects that you draw after you exit the dialog box are placed on the layer
defined by the layer standard. You can use the Overrides On/Off command
to turn on the layer overrides later.
NOTE Individual layer keys that do not allow overrides as specified in the Layer
Key Properties dialog box are not overridden when you select Enable All Overrides.
