    Default layer management

    I work with a lot of xrefs, like most of us and it can be rather cumbersome to navigate through 10s or 100s of extra layers I don't need at that moment. I would like to know how to filter out the xref layers in my layer manager so I only see the layers (active/used or not) in the particular drawing I'm in. I do not mean turning the actually layers and objects on/off/freeze/thaw; this is ONLY in the layer manager. See attached diagram. Thanks!

    Highlight Xref in the filter list and click on Invert filter near the bottom.

    I run this lisp file I found on one of these newsgroups, then go into the layer manager and use the created filter.
