Layer Management > Disable (Manage Menu)

This command can be used to disable layers by identifying objects that are assigned to the desired layers. To disable a layer means to set the attributes "Lock", "Ignore" and "Shade Down", i.e. the layer will be displayed in a gray color, objects assigned to it can usually not be chosen and will not be considered during snap point detection. In addition, the attribute "Output" is cleared, so this layer will neither be printed nor copied to the clipboard.

Choose the objects whose assigned layers are to be altered. Click on objects to choose them, including objects in locked layers.

After identifying the objects, their layer assignment is determined and all affected layers are disabled.
