DESCRIPTION

     The following commands manage layer styles	for the	currently
     loaded  sheet  or	drawing.  A layer style	is a set of layer
     modes adjusted for	work (WK), edit	(E), search (S),  display
     (D)  or  OFF.  As a convenience aid, these	routines manage	a
     special series of ten numbered layer styles with the names:

	 0, 1, 2, 3, 4,	5, 6, 7, 8 and 9

     which are easily manipulated using	 the  commands	described
     below.

COMMANDS

  :lc	  [NUMBERED LAYER STYLE	- CLEAR	ALL]
     This command deletes all  of  the	existing  numbered  layer
     styles from 0 through 9.  The following prompt is displayed:

	 Delete	all numbered layer styles?   def: NO   yes   no

     If	yes is selected	(or if a 'y' is	entered	at the keyboard),
     then all of the numbered layer style files	will be	erased.

  :ll	  [NUMBERED LAYER STYLE	- TOGGLE PREVIOUS STYLE]
     This  command  immediately	 redisplays  the  previous  layer
     style.  This is useful for	quickly	toggling between two num-
     bered layer styles	in a drawing.  If a numbered layer  style
     has  not first been accessed using	the :l#	command, then the
     following message will be displayed:

     Cannot toggle layer style.	 No previous style has been loaded.


  :lx	  [RESTORE VIEWPORT LAYER MODES]
     This command immediately restores the current viewport layer
     modes.   If not currently working in a viewport, the follow-
     ing message is displayed:

     ERROR: not	currently editing a viewport


  :l0  ...  :l9	    [NUMBERED LAYER STYLE - LOAD]
     These commands loads the  previously  saved  numbered  layer
     style indicated by	the command name digit.	 If the	specified
     layer style does not exist, then the following error message
     is	displayed:

	 ERROR:	Layer style # not set.	Set it with:  ls#

  :ld0	...  :ld9     [NUMBERED	LAYER STYLE - DELETE]
     These commands silently  delete  the  numbered  layer  style
     indicated	by the command name digit.  In other words, there
     will be no	confirmation prompt before deleting the	view.  If
     the specified layer style does not	exist (i.e., has not been
     previously	saved),	then the following message is displayed:

	 Layer style # does not	exist.

  :ls0	...  :ls9     [NUMBERED	LAYER STYLE - SAVE]
     These commands save the current layer modes as a style using
     the  number  indicated by the command name	digit.	Note that
     if	a layer	style has  previously  been  saved  to	the  same
     number, the older view will be silently overwritten.

FILES

     View files	are stored in the DB:views.dir directory  with	a
     ly_ prefix	and a .st suffix.  The numbered	layer style files
     are named ly_[0-9]<dwg>.st	where <dwg> is up  to  the  first
     seven  characters	of  the	 basename of the current sheet or
     drawing.  This naming convention allows numbered  layers  to
     be	maintained for multiple	sheets or drawing within the same
     database.
