CREATING NEW LAYERS
When you create a new layer you will assign a name, color, linetype, lineweight and whether it should plot or not.
Using layers is an important part of managing your drawing. It is better to have too many layers than too few.
-
Select the Layer command using one of the following:
-
TYPE = LA
-
PULLDOWN = FORMAT / LAYER
-
TOOLBAR = OBJECT PROPERTIES
The Layer Properties Manager dialog box shown below will appear.
-
-
Select the New Layer button and a new layer will appear.
-
Click on any of the features and a dialog box will appear.
Make your selections and then select OK. The changes will appear immediately.
If the desired linetype is not listed, refer to "Loading Linetypes" on the next page.
