TIP-To Turn on A layer w/o Opening the Layer Setting

Anonymous
Not applicable
I know this is obvious but I though I share it any way:
I have always wanted to turn on an specific layer with out opening the Layer manager and scrolling through many layers just to turn on one desired layer. here I go:

Method One:
Make sure the wanted layer is alway Unlocked and Not Visible, then in the Info Box drop down the layer pop-out in any tool and start drawing. At this point AC will ask you if you want to make this layer Visible; click yes & the rest is history!

Method Two:
Choose the desired Layer with any tool and save it as a Favorite with the name of that specific Layer. Now if the layer combination has that layer not visible invoking the favorite and start to draw will ask for making the Layer visible..

Thanks to all the great people in this list server.

But will (have) they listen(ed)?
It's part of a collective effort, and sometimes yes they do!
