1:1:
The 1:1 tool is a quick way of returning the drawing back to 100% zoom.

Layers

Hide and show the layers you are looking to work with in the drawing.
Object count for the number of items within a layer makes for quick reference. Layer names are taken from the original file.

DWG Layers Palette

Layers can be hidden or shown using the menu at the bottom, or by using the eye symbol. Only the selected layer can be changed each time.

An annotation layer is placed at the top of the drawing, so that your comments stay on top of the drawing content.
