Layer
The object or objects this property applies to.

Freeze

Boolean; read-write

TRUE: Freeze the layer.

FALSE: Thaw the layer.

Remarks

Freezing layers makes them invisible and excludes them from regeneration and plotting. Thawing a layer enables these capabilities. AutoCAD surfaces and circles on a turned-off or frozen layer are invisible, but they still hide objects when you use the HIDE, SHADEMODE, or RENDER commands.

You cannot freeze the active layer, or make a frozen layer active.

This property differs from the LayerOn property because frozen layers are not generated during a regeneration.
