Creating layers
Many document will only use one layer but you can easily create new layers if you need them. Note that you can only create layers in Drawing Documents, not Animation Documents - see Drawing and Animation Documents for more details.
To create a layer
1. From the Utilities menu, choose Layer Gallery.
2. Click the New button in the gallery.
3. Type a name for the new layer. (See Note.)
Note
Layers MouseOff,
MouseOver, MouseDown,
Selected and BackBar
are used by the Button & NavBar Tool.
We do not recommend creating layers with these names as this could affect
bar creation. For more information on bar creation see Creating
Navigation Bars.
Tips
The new layer is always the top
layer, in front of the other layers. It is also highlighted to show it
is the current layer. All objects are created in the current layer.
The guides layer
is automatically created when you create a guideline. If you want to create
it manually, right-click in the Layer Gallery and choose Create
Guides Layer.
To quickly create a new layer, right-click
on the Layer Gallery to open the pop-up menu and choose New
Layer.
Exporting multiple layers
You can export each layer of your drawing individually as multiple PNG files. More information.
