Chapter 6:
Using Layers
♦
Multiple objects on different layers cannot have shape effects such as: Outline,
Shadow, Distortion, Warp, or other Effects applied to them. Either move objects to the
same layer or handle each layer separately.
♦
Smart Edits cannot be performed if original objects and results are moved to different
layers. For example, if text is shadowed on Layer 1 and then the shadow is moved to a
different layer, the shadow can no longer be smart edited.
Using the Layer Manager
The Layer Manager is a powerful tool that allows you to create or modify layers. The Layer
Manager includes commands to create, hide, dim, lock, copy, merge or delete layers. You can
reorganize layers and the objects that they contain by dragging and dropping them in the
Layer Manager window. You can also select, move, copy, and delete objects contained on
layers using the Layer Manager.
The Layer Manager can be floating or docked on the Composer work surface. When docked,
you can change the width of the window by clicking and dragging the divider bar between
the window and the Composer work surface. When floating, you can resize
the Layer Manager by clicking and dragging any side or corner. Within the
Layer Manager window is the Layer Tree control and the Notes text box.
Layer Tree
The Layers Tree displays all of a job's layers and their contents. The Layers are
shown in stacking order with the topmost layer at the top of the tree. Layers i
descending order in the tree reflect the stacking (front to back) order of the
job. In the illustration, Layer 2 is the top layer and in front of the layers below
it. Layer 1 is the bottom layer and behind the layers above it in the Layer Tree.
The current layer is indicated above the Layer Tree.

Each layer can be expanded to show its contents or collapsed to hide the
contents by using the + and – buttons. To expand or collapse all layers, use the
Expand All or Collapse All commands in the Layer Menu.
Layers can be visible or hidden by clicking on the eye icon. Hiding artwork
allows you to concentrate on a portion of a job without other objects interfering
with it. You can also show/hide a layer by selecting it and choosing the Hide
or Show command from the right-click menu. To hide or make all layers visible
use the Show All or Hide All commands in the Layer Menu. Hidden objects or
layers can not be selected.
Layers can be locked and unlocked by clicking the lock icon. When a layer is
locked you cannot select or edit objects on the layer. Locking a layer is similar
to locking all objects in the layer individually. You can also unlock/lock a layer
by selecting it and choosing the Lock or Unlock command from the right-click
menu. To lock or unlock all layers use the Lock All or Unlock All comma
the Layer Menu. Select all locke
nds in
d layers using the Select Locked Layers
