	Toggling between layer freeze and layer off in the LAYOFF command.
	The AutoCAD command `LAYOFF` (former Express Tools command) can either freeze or just switch off the selected layer when used in viewports. You can set its behaviour through the settings option: LAYOFF > Settings > Viewports: off/freeze. In both cases, the layer will disappear, but frozen and switched off layers behave differently in many cases.
