Layer Gallery Overview
F10
The Layer Gallery gives you full control over the layers in a document. This includes the foreground and background layers and the guides layer. For more details on layers, see the Layers Overview.
Note that only 'Drawing' type documents can contain layers. See Creating new documents for details of creating Drawing type documents.
The gallery shows two sections. The upper section lists all the foreground layers in the selected document, the lower section details the background layers which will not print. Note that the guides layer will never print no matter which section it is in.
