You can change the display status of layers in a drawing only after you have set the drawing to ignore the layer status of its model by setting the ignore_model_layer_status Detail option to yes.

The status of layers of drawing views is always independent of the status of the main drawing layer. Changes that you make to the view layer are not reflected in the layer of the main drawing.

To make the status of a drawing view layer dependent on the status of the drawing layer, select the required view from the Active Layer Object Selection list above the Layer Tree and click Layer > Drawing Dependent.

Making a view layer status dependent on the drawing layer is a temporary operation and the change is only seen in the graphics window. For example, if you have a note in a drawing view on the view layer and if you hide this layer, the layer is hidden at the view level and the note disappears from the graphics window. The note reappears when you make the view layer dependent on the main drawing layer using the Drawing Dependent command.

When you use the Drawing Dependent command on a view layer, the selected object in the Active Layer Object Selection list automatically moves back from the selected view layer to the main drawing or model. You can switch back to the independent view by selecting it from the Active Layer Object Selection list above the Layer Tree.

You can make the view layer permanently dependent on the drawing layer by clicking Layer above the Layer Tree, and clicking Copy Status From > Drawing. Alternatively, select a layer on the Layer Tree, right-click, and click Copy Status From > Drawing. However, once you do this you cannot reset the status of the view layer.
