Opening and Closing Files
♦
For a file type that supports layers you can choose to:
♦
Turn on Keep Layers and the file imports maintaining layers and existing
layer names.
♦
Clear Keep Layers and choose Flatten layers to: New Layer to merge all
layers. The file imports onto a single new layer which has the same name as
the file.
♦
Clear Keep Layers and choose Flatten layers to: Current Layer to ignore all
layers. The file's objects are added to the current active layer.
