Operation Manual

Working with Objects 85
To add a new layer:
• In the Layers tab, click the
Add Layer button to add a new
layer above the currently selected layer.
To rename a layer:
• To rename a layer to something more meaningful, click on the
selected layer's name and type to add your new name (you can also
make an insertion point to edit the existing text).
To delete a layer:
• In the Layers tab, select the layer’s name and click the
Delete
Layer button.
If you delete a layer, all of the objects on it are lost! So if you want to
keep any of them, move them to another layer first.
You can move layers up or down in the stacking order to place their
objects in front or behind those on other layers, move objects to specific
layers, and even merge layers.
To move a layer in the stacking order:
• Drag the selected layer to a new position in the layer stack.
Remember that objects on layers are drawn in the order in which the
layers were initially added to the Layers tab. Put another way: the
bottom layer in the Layers tab stack is drawn first then the second
bottom, third bottom etc. A background layer should be the bottom
layer in the Layers tab stack.
