    So both freezeing and turning a layer off hide the layer on the screen....
    and prevent it from plotting..... what about when I save the file... is the
    layer not saved if it is off or frozen..... please explain the differences
    between freezing, off, in regards to saving and inserting a block which may
    have layers which are designated as off in the drawing it is coming
    into.....

    both leave all items in tact, just not visible. off means the items are
    still in memory & are regenerated & if drawing in 3d they will hide items
    behind them, Freeze means the items isn't there at all until thawed out. if
    you are only drawing simple 2d, then they would be practicly the same to you
