How can the visibility of objects be controlled in AutoCAD?

Controlling the visibility of objects in AutoCAD is primarily accomplished through effective management of layer properties. Each layer in AutoCAD can be adjusted to determine which objects are visible or hidden within your drawing. This includes options to turn layers on or off, freeze them, or lock them. When a layer is turned off, for instance, all objects contained within that layer will not be displayed, which can help simplify your view by focusing only on necessary elements.

Managing layer properties allows for organized drawing and helps prevent visual clutter, especially in complex projects with numerous elements. This organizational aspect is critical in maintaining clarity and functionality within your design.

While other options, such as using filter commands or adjusting the zoom level, may impact the view or selection of objects to some extent, they do not fundamentally control object visibility at the layer level like layer management does. The "VIEW" command is primarily used to manage saved views or viewport configurations and does not directly deal with layer visibility settings.
