Layer Settings

Most adjustments to layers are made in the Layer Settings dialog. New layers are added, a single layer or all layers are turned off so that they are not visible. Layers are locked so that objects are not affected by operations.

Location of the Layer Command

You can access the layer command from the Settings tab, Settings heading.
