Layer 0 is a special layer provided in the AutoCAD program. You cannot rename or delete layer 0 from the list of layers. Layer 0 has special properties when used with the Block and Insert commands, which are covered in Tutorial 10. Layer POINTS is the current layer in mysubdivis.dwg. There can be only one current layer at a time.
