Layers Sheet

Provides an editable table of Layer properties. Layers can be used to separate a Layout into multiple parts. The Layers can be organized with regards to object types, system segments, or any other criteria. The Default Layer always remains, but other Layers may be created or removed.

NOTE: Components cannot be selected when the current Layer is invisible. Lock prevents a Layer from being changed or selected. Lock & View may also be accessed by double-clicking on the corresponding icons within the list.
