Working with layers and layer configurations
The Layers option consists of a number of submenu options, to select, deactivate, remove, or configure the layers that are available in the CAD Integrator drawing.
Configuring layers
After clicking the Create layer configuration submenu option, a dialog box opens. In this dialog box, you can select layers from the Visible section that you do not want to see in the CAD Integrator drawing and click the arrow button to the right.
The selected layers are subsequently transferred to the Not visible section and be hidden. By default, all layers are visible in the drawing (items in the left-hand section). The double arrow buttons enable you to transfer all layers in one go, either to the left or the right.
After adjusting a drawing’s layers, you can save your selection via the Layers option, Save layer configuration as… submenu option.
