AutoCAD: Manage Layers with the LAYWALK command

LAYWALK is a command that allows us to handle layers. You can access it by going to Home tab> Layers panel (expanded)> Layer Walk. or you can just type LAYWALK in the command line. It opens a dialog where we can see all the layers listed. The objects on the highlighted layers will be shown on the screen.

In case we have a lot of layers we can use the filter bar to only show the ones we want. By entering c*, I can display only layers starting with the letter “c”.

If you select a layer that has no objects on it, you can click the Purge button to purge the layer.

Selecting a layer or several layers , you can right-click in the dialog box and choose Inspect to display the information about the layers and the amount of objects contained.

We have also the option to "restore on exit" or not. If restore on exit is active, it means that when we close the LAYWALK window, the layer state will go back to how it was before running the command,  However, you can uncheck that check box to turn off un displayed layers after you close.
