Objects
Inside each layer (sometimes we just say 'on' the layer) are all the items that make up your document;
lines, shapes, text, photos, etc. By expanding the layer level the usual way (click the icon) you are
presented with a list of all objects in the same order they appear on the page, top to bottom. Because
new objects are always placed in front of (on top of) all other objects on the current layer, they will
appear at the top of the list.
The Page & Layer Gallery is a great way to find and select items that may be hidden or difficult to get to
on the page. Using the quick pop-up thumbnail feature you can quickly see each item.
This also shows a thumbnail pop-up of one of the
photos at the bottom of the list.
This example Page &
Layer Gallery shows the
hierarchy of document
elements.
The 'news' page is
expanded and shows 7
layers. The 'MouseOff'
layer is expanded to show
a collection of objects
inside this layer, starting
with a navbar group, five
groups, two shadow
groups, a text line and two
text columns. One of the
groups is expanded to
show a shadow group, a
text column, and another
group, which is expanded
to show just one item
inside it, a clipped photo,
which is being displayed as
a larger thumbnail as the
mouse pointer hovers over
it. The text column is
selected on the page and
so highlighted in blue.
As you change selection on
the page, the Page &
Layer Gallery updates to
reflect this, showing the
selected item/s highlighted
in blue.
Vice versa, you can select
any item in the Page &
Layer Gallery by clicking
on it, and it will select the
corresponding item in the
document as well.
