Using the layers

Graphical entities added manually to the picture (i.e. lines, polylines, text, dimension lines) can be sorted into layers.

Parameters of layer

Name	It is used for identification of the layer.
Colour	It specifies the colour that is assigned to all entities inserted in the layer.
Visibility	All entities inserted into one layer are visible or hidden.
Activity	All entities inserted into one layer are active or not.
Comment	The user may add a short comment to explain what the layer represents.

Click button [Layersmanager] ( $image\Gro_Pict_gal_Layer_manager.gif$ ) on toolbar Gallery picture editor toolbar.
The Layers manager dialogue is opened on the screen.
Set the parameters.
Confirm with button [OK].

Select the entity or entities that should be inserted into one layer.
In combo box with layers ( $image\Gro_Pict_gal_Layer.gif$ ) on toolbar Gallery picture editor toolbar select the required new layer for the selected entities.

The number of layers in the Gallery item editor is fixed. That means that new layers cannot be added and no layers can be removed.
