You can save layers from a drawing to a file with the extension .clxlys so you can reuse the same setting. For example, if all the standard layers needed for a project are stored in a drawing, you can create a new drawing and import the default layers into it, which reduces the time it takes to define layers and ensures compatibility between drawings.
