Layer Tree

The layer tree displays all layers and layer groups within a drawing in a tree structure. When selecting a layer or layer group from the layer tree, information on the selected layer or layer group will be displayed on Properties Window. When a property value is modified on Properties Window, the settings for the layer will also be modified.
In the layer tree, you can perform various operations relating to layers, such as creating a new layer/layer group while checking the layer configuration, deleting any unnecessary layer, and selecting a layer used for drawing.


To display the layer tree, Click [Layer Tree] on [View] menu.
