Operation Manual

Working with Pages 51
Double-click a layer or click Layer properties to change selection handle
colour and extend settings to layers with the same name. See Layers tab in
PagePlus Help.
Copying layers and objects
When you add a new page or master page to the publication, you can specify
whether to copy the layers, objects, and/or the master page from a particular
source page. See Adding, removing, and rearranging pages on p. 37.
Managing objects on layers
Objects can be managed in the Layers tab with various options for selecting,
moving, and naming them.
Once you've displayed a page or master page, you can normally select and then
edit any object on it—regardless of which layer the object is on—simply by
clicking the object. Alternatively, you can limit object selection and editing to
objects on a specific layer.
To edit only objects on the selected layer:
• In the Layers tab, select the chosen layer and click Edit All
Layers.
PagePlus also gives you the option of selecting an object from the tab as
opposed to from the page itself.
To select an object on a particular layer:
• In the Layers tab, click the Expand on the chosen layer entry to
reveal all associated objects. You'll see objects named automatically,
e.g. "Line", "Picture", "Quick Rectangle", etc., each with their own
preview (hover over for a magnified view). The frontmost object in
your drawing always appears at the top of the layer's listed objects (the
order reflects the Z-order).
To select all objects on a particular layer:
• In the Layers tab, right-click the chosen layer and choose Select
Objects.
