Quick Reference

To filter the display of layers by layer property

1. Click Home tab Layers panel Layer Properties
2. In the Layer Properties Manager, click the New Property Filter button.
3. In the Layer Filter Properties dialog box, enter a name for the filter.
4. Under Filter Definition, set the layer properties that you want to use to define the filter.
   • To filter by name, use wild-card characters.
   • To filter by property, click in the column for the property you want.

     Some properties display a dialog box when you click the [...] button.

   • To select more than one value for a property, right-click the row in the filter definition. Click Duplicate Row. Select another value for that property in the next row.

     For example, the definition for a filter that displays only layers that are on and are either yellow or red has two rows. The first row of the filter definition has the On icon and red. The second row has the On icon and yellow.

5. Click Apply to save your changes, or click OK to save and close.
