Figure 187: Making layers visible or hidden. (Left) Hide the Layout layer to
see what is on Layer4. (Right) Show the Layout layer and hide Layer4 to
show chest with drawers closed.
Caution
If you copy a drawing object to the Clipboard or into the Gallery, all
layers other than the three standard layers (Layout, Controls and
Dimension Lines) are lost. Furthermore all objects are pasted into the
Layout layer. The reconstruction of layers is much easier if you
assemble objects on a layer into a group before copying.
Changing the layer of a drawing object
Draw has no direct command to change layers. To move an object to another layer,
change to the new layer, select the desired object or group, and then cut and paste it
into position. Watch the status bar (the selected object’s layer name is shown in the
information field) to follow and check the change.
You can also click on the object, hold the mouse button pressed for about two seconds
until the mouse cursor changes from a hand to a pointer with an open rectangle, and
then drag and drop it on the appropriate layer.
Creating a multi-page document
Draw documents, like presentation (Impress) documents, can consist of multiple
pages. As in Impress, tools to manage pages and backgrounds are available.
Pages are automatically named as Slide 1, Slide 2, and so on. This description is
relative; if you move pages around, they are automatically renumbered. If you want
to have fixed slide (page) names, you must name them yourself. Page names are
useful for working with the Navigator and when you want to insert single pages into
another document using Insert > File.
