Making layers active

Each type of layer has one ‘active’ layer at any one moment. When a layer is active, it means that any new objects, relevant to a particular type of layer that you add or draw, will be added to it automatically. For instance, any CAD you draw will be added to the active CAD Layer, and so on.

To make a layer active:

Select an object and click the ‘Activate a Layer’ icon .

This makes the layer on which the object was sitting the active layer.

On the Active Layer toolbar, select the layer you want to make active from the relevant drop-down menus.

This layer is now the active layer and appears in the Active Layers Toolbar.

In the Layers Directory, right-click on the layer you want to make active and select Make active.
