I want to turn all layers off except the current layer...

[droak]

I have inserted dozens of images into a drawing and created layers with those image names and created layouts for each of the layers.

I would like to turn off all the layers except the layer which is named the same as the layout name.

I can do this in the Layer Properties Manager Dialog box, by turning off the Current VP Freeze Icon. But, I don't see the option on the command line.

How would I enter a line of code to set this option?

(progn
 (setvar "clayer" (getvar "ctab"))
 (command "_.layer" "_off" "*" "_No" "")
)

This will crash if the layer doesn't exist.

(progn
  (if (tblsearch "LAYER" (getvar "ctab"))
    (command "vplayer" "f" "*" "c" "t" (getvar "ctab") "c" "")
  )
)

Hi!
If you are a huge Toolbar user, just make a couple of buttons on one of your toolbars.
That way you do not have to use the keyboard all the time.
You can go in to customize and do ^C^C_-layer off on one button, * on another and
grab the dark lightbulb from the "All Commands" box to put on the toolbar.
That way, you just have to remember the command and switch. (* means "All" and ^C^C cancels out the previous command, etc.
There is a list in the Help file somewhere of these switches.
You can edit your button image any way you want.
Some of my buttons are short. They just have Y for "yes" and P for "Previous" next to the commands I use them with.

I applologize, I used the wrong terminology.

I want to freeze all layers except the current layer. I don't want to turn them off.

Opie:

I like your code and I'll use it in another application.

The problem with this code is, it freezes the layers. I need to freeze the layers in the view ports "only".

Do you have any thought about this.

This freezes the layers in the current viewport. If you are in paper space, but not in a viewport, it will freeze all the layers in paperspace. To freeze in a desired viewport, make that one active. My code doesn't go any further than that.

if you look at the express tool there is a standard command there.
