Current Layer

When you create new entities, they are drawn on the current layer. To draw new entities on a different layer, you must first make that layer the current layer.


Setting the current layer

Do one of the following:

  • On the BricsCAD Properties Bar, select Layer .
    Make sure, no entity is selected.
    Choose a layer in the drop down list.

  • On the Entity Properties toolbar, click the down arrow next to the Layer field, then choose a layer in the drop down list.
  • Right click on the Layer field in the Status Bar, then choose a layer in the context menu.

NOTES

  • It is possible to turn the display of the current layer off (). As a result, everything you draw will be invisible until the display of the current layer is turned on () again. A warning displays if you try to turn off the current layer.

  • The LAYISO command allows to isolate layers by either lock or turn off other layers. If no entity on the current layer is selected, the layer of the entity that is selected first temporarily becomes the current layer until the LAYUNISO command is executed.

  • It is not possible the freeze () the current layer.
