Get Layer Status

Function Syntax (LM:GetLayerStatus)
Current Version 1.0

Program Description

This subfunction is a primarily academic venture, using a variety programming techniques to return the status of all layers in a drawing.

I hope that programmers of all levels may benefit in some way from it.

("Layer3" . "On,Locked")
("Layer4" . "On")
("Layer5" . "On,Frozen in VP")
