Reorganizing in the Layers Tab
The order in which layers and groups appear in the Layers tab helps to determine the
layout of your entire project. The order of layers and groups determines which objects
appear to be in front of other objects in the Canvas. You can change the ordering of one
or more objects in the Canvas or in the Layers tab.
To move a layer or group up or down in the Layers tab
µ
Drag a layer or group up or down in the Layers tab.
A position indicator appears to show the new position the selection occupies when you
release the mouse button.
Note: You can also use the Bring and Send commands in the Object menu to move layers
up and down in the nested hierarchy within any group. This is especially useful when
working with selected objects directly in the Canvas. For more information, see
Arrangement Commands in the Object Menu .
If you want to organize the objects in your project into multiple groups, you can create
new, empty groups at any time.
To create a new, empty group
Do one of the following:
µ
Click the Add button (+) at the top of the Layers tab.
µ
Choose Object > New Group (or press Command-Shift-N).
New groups always appear at the top of the Layers tab, and are numbered incrementally
based on the number of groups you’ve created so far.
