LAYER

Purpose:

To enable the user to set the modal layer for new geometries in the current drawing.

Instructions:

1. In the Format menu, click Layer.

2. The number of the layer or layer class is keyed in. It is also possible to collect the layer from existing geometry in the drawing. Just click Options and indicate the geometry from where to collect the layer.

   Unless the user specifies otherwise, by default the system assumes that all input is to be associated with Layer 0. Thus unless the user has already invoked this function, all input made up to the time when the user opens this function and defines a specific layer, is associated with Layer 0.

   See Tools > Inquiry > Used Layers for identification of existing layers in the drawing.

Options:

The user can define the unique layer identification by either a simple numeric value or as a 'Layer Class'. A 'Layer Class' is identified by the user typing '#' followed by the unique class number.

Result:

All subsequent added geometry and text will be associated with this layer.
