To Set Layer Display Status
You can set the display status of layers using the Save Status command, by setting configuration file options, or by using the layer file.
1. Click or in the Model Tree navigator window click and then click Layer Tree. The Layer Tree appears.
2. Click on the Layer Tree toolbar and select one of the following commands to set the display status:
Hide—Hides selected features, components, and layers.
Unhide—Shows selected features, components, and layers.
Isolate—Isolates the selected layers and treats all non-isolated layers as hidden.
In the Layer Tree, icons next to a layer name indicate whether items on that layer are visible, isolated, or hidden.
Hidden Lines—(Assembly and Manufacturing mode only) Hides the components in the hidden layers according to the environment settings for hidden-line display.
Alternatively, set the status to show or display the layer by right-clicking the selected layer and clicking Hide or Unhide.
3. In 3D modes, repaint the screen to see any layer status changes take effect.
In Drawing mode, the graphics display is automatically repainted.
4. If you want to save the display status, click View, click the arrow next to Status and then click Save Status. Creo Parametric saves the current layer display status.
* 
By default, Creo Parametric does not save the layer display status unless you save the layer status before saving the object.
5. If you want to change the display status after you have saved a status, click View, click the arrow next to Status and then click Reset Status to roll back the display status.
