Understanding Protected Layers
The position (and existence) of the first two layers—All Objects and Global Objects—is
protected, and they cannot be deleted.
• All Objects: This layer displays all objects in the Environment. The objects in this layer
are normally shown as a list. You can choose the Options > Go to Layer of Object
command, in the Environment menu, to switch to the selected object’s layer.
• Global Objects: You can place objects that you want to be visible in all layers in the
second layer from the top. These will appear at the same position in all layers. It is
recommended that you place as few objects as possible on this layer, due to the
onscreen clutter that global objects can create.
Creating, Naming, and Deleting Layers
You can create, name, and delete layers in the Environment.
To create a new layer
Do one of the following:
µ
Choose Options > Layer > Create (or use the Create Layer key command).
µ
Choose Create Layer from the Layer pop-up menu.
The new, empty layer called “(unnamed)” is inserted above the currently selected layer.
To name a layer
1 Click the Layer Name field, and type in a name.
