Create a New Group Filter

Create a New Group Filter
In addition to filtering layers by property, you can create layer group filters, and manually arrange
layers into groups. Once you create a layer group filter, the new layer group filter is added to the
tree view. You can then drag layers from the list view into the new layer group filter.
1. In the Layer Properties Manager, click the New Group Filter button (the middle
button in the upper-left corner of the Layer Properties Manager).
A new, empty group filter (Group Filter1) is created and displayed in the tree view.
2. In the highlighted text box, enter FURNITURE to name the new group filter, and
then press ENTER.
3. In the tree view, click All to display all the layers in the drawing.
4. In the list view, hold down the CTRL key and select the following layers:
o CHAIRS
o CPU
o DESKS
o FILE-CABINETS
o PHONES
5. Drag the selected layers into the FURNITURE group filter in the tree view.
6. In the tree view, click the FURNITURE group filter icon.
The layers you selected (CHAIRS, CPU, DESKS, FILE-CABINETS, and PHONES) are
now included in the FURNITURE group filter. In the list view, only these layers are
displayed.
Do not close the Layer Properties Manager.
