How Do I Limit Actions to The Active Layer
Is it possible to limit actions to the current layer. Eg trim lines, erase etc

Re: How Do I Limit Actions to The Active Layer
The only way I know to do this would be to "lock all layers", and then unlocking the one layer you want to make changes to. If you right-click on the lock symbol in the layer list you can do this, or the shortcut is YK. Perhaps there is a way to automate this but I'm not aware of any but there are people here with a lot more knowledge than I have.

Restrictions on certain tools? What is that good for?

For example when trying to work over other layers. Eg but not limited to creating sections over floor plans. In this instance I would like to snap to parts of visible layers but not edit other layers. I think ryancousins suggestions will work for me.
