Layers provide a way to control the display of elements on a drawing sheet in SmartSketch Drawing Editor. There are three different places in drawings that affect the layer settings: the label templates folder, the dimension templates folder, and the graphic rule interface inside the software.
By default, all objects in a drawing reside in the default view layer.
-
To alter in which layer the labels display, see Modify the Label Template Layer.
-
To alter in which layer the dimensions display, see Modify the Dimension Template Layer.
-
To alter in which layer the graphical objects display, you must modify the Layer field in the Graphic Rule - VHL Dialog Box, Graphic Rule - Line Dialog Box, or Graphic Rule - Symbol Dialog Box.
The settings listed above determine which objects from certain templates display in non-default layers in the drawing view. As a drawings administrator, you might want to pre-define layers in the delivered view template for ease of use and export. For more information and an example workflow, see Pre-Define Layers in Delivered View Template in the SmartSketch Drawing Editor Help.
