Lesson: Using Layers ■ 271
■ Select an object on the Visible layer and
notice how the layer name displays in the
Layer Control list.
■ Select any other object, such as a
dimension, and notice that now the Layer
Control field is blank. Because the list
cannot display multiple properties at once,
this indicates the objects that you selected
are on different layers.
■ Press ESC to deselect all objects.
10. Try to move some of the objects including ones
which are on a locked layer:
■ Start the Move command.
■ Select all of the objects in the auxiliary
view. Press ENTER.
■ Click any point on the drawing. Enter 25.
Press TAB.
■ In the Angle field, enter 30. Press TAB.
■ Click anywhere in the drawing to complete
the Move command. Notice that some of
the objects did not move.
■ Undo the Move command.
11. This time you will move the objects again, but
first you unlock the layer that some of these
objects are on:
■ On the Home tab, click Layers panel >
Layer Control list. Click the padlock icon
on the Visible layer. Note that the padlock
changes from a closed lock to an open lock
indicating that the layer is unlocked.
■ Repeat the Move command from the
previous step. Notice how all of the objects
are moved.
■ Relock the visible layer.
12.
To create a new layer:
■ On the Home tab, click Layers panel >

box, click New Layer (1).

Block.

13. To add another layer:
■ Click New Layer again.
■ In the Layer Name field, enter Viewport.
■ Click the Color field and select Cyan. Click
OK.
