Individual shapes are also assigned to their own layers within a layer. Notice below how the words “KNK”
and “Zing” are individual layers within the
Default Layer
which displays both words together. Some of the
same functions used for layers are available to be applied to the individual shapes within a layer.
When starting a new project, shapes will automatically be assigned to a
Default
layer. To move a shape to
a new layer, select it and then click on the
Selection to New Layer
icon.
Any new shapes that are created will automatically be assigned to the currently selected layer (with the
exception of a few situations). To create a new empty layer, click on the
Create New Layer
icon.
When adding text, a new layer will be created and the name of the layer will be the font used for that text (as
shown above where the font used for
KNK Zing
is called 1 Bean Sprout DNA).
To completely remove a layer from being displayed, but at the same time not delete the layer, move the
layer to its own page, using the
Layer Options Menu
at the bottom of the
Layer Bar.
Click on the
Delete Empty Layers
icon
to delete any layers that contain no shapes.
Click on the
Visible Toggle
menu
to offer options to
Show All
layers,
Hide All
layers or
Toggle
Visible
which will reverse the current hide/show status of all layers (i.e. hide layers currently visible and
unhide layers that are currently not visible).
Click on the
Lock Toggle
menu
to offer options to
Lock All
layers,
Unlock All
layers or
Toggle Lock
which reverses the current lock/unlock status of all layers (i.e. unlock layers currently locked and lock layers
that are currently unlocked).
Right click on a
Layer Name
or right click on the layer’s thumbnail (or select the layer and then click on the
Layer Options Menu
icon
) and the following menu will open:
This option will move every shape on
the selected layer to its own new layer
