I’ve had a few comments about my article Custom Express Tools: Layer Isolate & Layer Unisolate
Here are the comments along with my answers.

When creating the macro for a toolbar button instead of using the space to represent <>, you can use the semi-colon which will be readily visible.

Kurt,
Thanks for your input. I was hoping there was a better way to execute the command. I’ll update the post accordingly.
Unfortunantly I am incorrecton on occasion so please correct me, I really don’t mind.

Why not just use the layers previous button which is the last button on the layers toolbar and be done with it. It functions in the same manner as layer unisolate in my versions of autocad and ADT.

Good point Phil, however if you use Layer Isolate to work and then change any of the layer properties, such as linetype, color, lineweight,etc…, the Layer Previous command will undo those changes. LAYUNISO will simply turn on the layers that LAYISO turned off. Thank you for making me learn a bit more about this. I had to study a bit to find my leg to stand on.
Hopefully this has helped clear up any misconceptions about this command.
