Description

Subclass marker (AcDbLayerTableRecord)

2

Layer name

Standard flags (bit-coded values):

1 = Layer is frozen; otherwise layer is thawed

2 = Layer is frozen by default in new viewports

4 = Layer is locked

16 = If set, table entry is externally dependent on an xref

32 = If both this bit and bit 16 are set, the externally dependent xref has been successfully resolved

64 = If set, the table entry was referenced by at least one entity in the drawing the last time the drawing was edited. (This flag is for the benefit of AutoCAD commands. It can be ignored by most programs that read DXF files and need not be set by programs that write DXF files)

62

Color number (if negative, layer is off)

6

Linetype name

290

Plotting flag. If set to 0, do not plot this layer

370

Lineweight enum value

390

Hard-pointer ID/handle of PlotStyleName object

347

Hard-pointer ID/handle to Material object

Xref-dependent layers are output during SAVEAS. For these layers, the associated linetype name in the DXF file is always CONTINUOUS.
