Identifying the Layer Usage in a Drawing - AutoCAD

Question

I often get drawings from other people and need to quickly identify which layers they have used and whether the objects in the drawings are on the correct layer. Is there a way to quickly identify the layer usage in a drawing?

Answer

The Layer Walk command, which used to be one of the Express Tools, but is now along with a lot of other layer express tools, part of the mainstream layer toolbox, is located on the Layer Tab drop-down. It enables you to quickly identify the objects that reside on each layer.
