The Layer Properties Manager automatically creates a layer filter for unreconciled layers. You can review the
list of unreconciled layers and then manually select and reconcile layers using the Reconcile option from the
right-click menu.

The new Layer Panel on the Dashboard acts as a central location for your Layer tools. It includes all of the tools
from the Layers toolbar and more!
Figure 27. Layer Panel on the Dashboard.
You can access the layer Isolation tools from the Layers panel of the Dashboard. The Layer isolate functionality
(LAYISO) command includes a new option for you to lock and fade background layers rather than simply hiding
them. You can control the amount of fading of using a slide bar or with the new LAYLOCKFADECTL system
variable. Since objects on a locked layer cannot be edited, their grips are not displayed upon selection.
