SettingDescription
Name Lists the name of the selected level.
Description Lists a description of the selected level.
File Name Lists the name of file that the selected level is from. This file can be a reference or a level library.
Library Lists the name of a library file, if one is used.
Number Lists the level number.
Note: Level numbers are not supported in DWG workmode.
Priority (2D models only) Identifies the level display priority value. A level with the highest priority value displays in front, while a level with the lowest priority value displays in back. Reference and element priority values also affect the display.
LEVEL SET PRIORITY [ new-level-priority [file:file-spec] level-spec ]
Transparency Identifies the level transparency value. A value of 0 indicates no transparency and a value of 100% indicates almost complete transparency.
LEVEL SET TRANSPARENCY [ new-level–transparency [file:file-spec] level-spec ]
Display If on, turns on global display of the level. If off, the elements on the level are not displayed. However, if a cell placed on the level has elements in other levels, those elements are displayed.
Freeze If on, freezes the selected level. When a level is frozen, elements on the level are not displayed. If a cell placed on the level has elements on other levels, none of the elements are displayed.
Lock If on, elements on this level cannot be edited.
Plot If on, elements on this level can be printed. If off, the elements cannot be printed.
Symbology: ByLevel Lists default settings for level symbology (Color, line Style, line Weight, Material). When an element that uses ByLevel symbology is placed on the level, the element uses the symbology settings assigned to the level.
LEVEL SET BYLEVEL COLOR [ color–spec ] [ file:file–spec ] [ level–spec ]
LEVEL SET BYLEVEL STYLE [ style–spec ] [ file:file–spec ] [ level–spec ]
LEVEL SET BYLEVEL WEIGHT [ weight–spec ] [ file:file–spec ] [ level–spec ]
LEVEL SET BYLEVEL MATERIAL [ material–spec ] [ file:file–spec ] [ level–spec ]
Symbology: Overrides Lists override symbology (Color, line Style, line Weight, Material) settings, which are view-dependent alternate settings for level symbology. When an element is placed on the selected level, it uses the symbology settings assigned to the level. To enable the view override settings, open the View Attributes dialog and turn on Level Overrides.
LEVEL SET OVERRIDE COLOR < OFF | ON | TOGGLE > [ color-spec ] [ file:file–spec ] [ level–spec ]
LEVEL SET OVERRIDE STYLE < OFF | ON | TOGGLE > [ style-spec ] [ file:file–spec ] [ level–spec ]
LEVEL SET OVERRIDE WEIGHT < OFF | ON | TOGGLE > [ weight-spec ] [ file:file–spec ] [ level–spec ]
LEVEL SET OVERRIDE MATERIAL < OFF | ON | TOGGLE > [ material-spec ] [ file:file–spec ] [ level–spec ]
Note: Symbology overrides are disabled in DWG workmode. All elements are displayed with ByLevel symbology.
