Spent an hour on a simple layer state in AutoCAD

I was updating a title block for a client and the layer wouldn't stay frozen in the viewport. It kept resetting every time I saved. The fix was a single system variable, VPLAYEROVERRIDESMODE, set to 0. Anyone else get tripped up by that one recently?

Classic AutoCAD, hiding the answer in a system variable. Bet you could have drawn the whole title block again in that hour.

That hour is how you learn which system variable to check next time though.

TYPENAME instead of ENTITIES got me out of that same hole once.
