Save Layout Layers

This command saves the current freeze/thaw status of the layers for the current layout. When the Output Layouts To PDF command generates the PDF for the layout, the saved layout layer settings are used for the PDF output. The Restore Layout Layers command can also be used to reset the freeze/thaw status for the layout.

This command is useful when making a layout using certain layers and then later making new layers in the drawing and you want the layout to use only the original layers.
