- The prevent layers used using the plotters for plotting provides the layer manager that allow easy options to customize the application. - The layers used in layer manager have specific options like:- Turning off the layers- Freezing the layers- Turning off the layers for plotting- Layers used in the plotting remain visible on the screen and doesn’t provide the output to the printer. - Individual layers can also be set up in specific viewports that allows drawing of the layers that contains the systems applications and options. - It uses the viewport concept that allows the different layers to be frozen on the view port and this way it can be hidden from other layers.
