Layer Table Format

Each section of the Layer Table Status File will start with a section definition line. The keyword will be enclosed in brackets:

[ON] : Subsequent lines will define those layers to be on. All other layers will be off.

[OFF]: Subsequent lines will define those layers to be off. The All other layers will be on.

[FORCE ON]: Subsequent lines will define those layers to be on. The status of any other layers will not be affected.

[FORCE OFF]: Subsequent lines will define those layers to be off. The status of any other layers will not be affected.

“ON” and “OFF” cannot be used with any of the other commands. “Force ON” and “Force OFF” can be used with each other, but cannot be used with either “ON” or “OFF”.
