Turn off and lock layers

Next, let's turn off the unnecessary layers in the floor plan drawing to make editing easier – provided that everything has been drawn to their own layers in the reference drawing. Such unnecessary elements could be distance lines, room area information, or furniture.

We will also lock the floor plan layers, to prevent us from accidentally editing the reference drawing.

Do the following:

Turn off the unnecessary objects by selecting Home tab > Layers group > (Turn off).
Select the elements you want to turn off:
- Room area information
- Distances inside the building
- Door codes
- Window codes
The application turns the layers of these objects off, so they become invisible.
Lock the reference drawing by selecting a file in the External references window, right-clicking it and selecting Lock layer.

The important functions related to starting electrical drawings are now done so we can move on to drawing.
