If on, turns on global display of the level. If off, the elements on the level are not displayed. However, if a cell placed on the level has elements in other levels, those elements are displayed.

If on, elements on this level cannot be selected or edited.

If on, elements on this level can be printed. If off, the elements cannot be printed.

Symbology: ByLevel

Lists default settings for level symbology (Color, line Style, line Weight). When an element that uses ByLevel symbology is placed on the level, the element uses the symbology settings assigned to the level.

Symbology: Overrides

Lists override symbology (Color, line Style, line Weight) settings, which are view-dependent alternate settings for level symbology. When an element is placed on the selected level, it uses the symbology settings assigned to the level. To enable the view override settings, open the View Attributes dialog box (Settings > View Attributes) and turn on Level Symbology.

Symbology overrides are disabled in DWG workmode. All elements are displayed with ByLevel symbology.
