Overview on most important features:

• Combining layers to into layergroups
• Combining layergroups into (tree-like) hierarchies
• Optionally, layers, layergroups and hierarchies may be extended with describtion texts
• All AutoCAD^® layer operations are also available for layergroups and hierarchies
• Optionally, layergroups and hierarchies may use ist own VIEW and UCS
• Technology Highlight: Modellspace and Paperspace are completely independent; when switching between spaces, LayerManager will restore all layers to the last state, even automatically !
• Automatic detection and usage of XREFs and Blocks; all contained LayerManager-Data, i.e. layers, layergroups, hierarchies within XREFs and Blocks are available immediately
• Within paperspace, all layers, layergroups, and hierarchies may be controlled in any, freely selectable viewports, even simultaneously
• Display/Highlight function for a fast visual view onto entities of layers, layergroups and hierarchies
• Complete, saveable Foreground-/Background control with layers, layergroups and hierarchies
• complete drag&drop abilities between all LayerManager windows and between drawings
• WBlock function for saving drawing entities of layers, layergroups and hierarchies
• Creating selection sets with entities of layers, layergroups and hierarchies for later use in AutoCAD^®
• Copy and Clone functions with optional copying drawing entities of layers, layergroups and hierarchies
• Search function: Locate layers, layergroups and hierarchies by describing characteristics
• Filter function to reduce the object lists for layers, layergroups and hierarchies
• Special import/export functions to transfer LayerManager structures between drawings
• Integrated "LayerTools" for controlling drawing layers by reference entities
• "SnapShot" function to save the current layers constellation into a freely selectable text file; "SnapShots" could be loaded and restored as desired; also within paperspace and within viewports
• Saving layer listing files with freely selectable layer properties (status, color, linetype, visibility) with layer, layergroups and hierarchies
• All usual functions for administration of layers, layergroups and hierarchies such as a copying, cloning, renaming, deletion, moving etc. are available
• Complete and compatible support of "Multiple Document Environment" in AutoCAD^® 2000 is integrated, like Drag&Drop with LayerManager data between different drawing
• Any drawing may be attached and fixed to a LayerManager window in AutoCAD^® 2000
• Simple installation; automatic program load & run at AutoCAD^® startup may be defined in program options
  

Configuring user interface:

As a windows^® program based on the Windows^®-Explorer design, LayerManager offers all usual and many special features to configure the program interface to your needs. All window positons are saved and restored automatically.
