Creating layers and setting
layer options
Every new Adobe Illustrator document
contains one layer, named by default
“Layer 1.” You can create any number of
layers in your document; the number of
layers a document can have is limited
only by your computer’s memory.
Once a layer is created, you can then set
options for any layer, such as whether
the layer will display or print, and
whether to lock all objects on that layer.
To create a new layer and set options
for a layer:
1
Choose New Layer from the Layers
palette menu.
2
Choose any of the following options:
• Type a name for the layer in the Name
text box. By default, layers are named
according to the order in which they
were created, with Layer 1 being the
backmost layer.
