Layers are use to control the visibility of objects and toassign properties to objects. Layers can be locked toprevent objects from being modified.

Layers also can reduce the visual complexity of a

drawing and improve display performance bycontrolling how objects are displayed or plotted. For

example, you can use layers to control the properties

and visibility of similar objects, such as electrical partsor dimensions. Also, you can lock a layer to prevent

objects on that layer from being accidentally selected

and modified.

Inquiry command are to obtain information about the relationbetween two specified points or multiple points; for example,the distance between points or their angle in the XYplane.

To determine the relation between points, you can display the

1. Distance between them

2. Angle between the points in the XYplane

3. Angle of the points from theXYplane

4. Delta, or changed,X, Y, and Zdistances between them
