Mouse Icon CADWorx Structure Editor View tab: Display > Properties > Layers ellipsis

Specifies the layers for a project. These layers display in the Layer list in CADWorx Structure Editor.

You lose Bill of Material functionality when you delete a layer, then open a drawing that contains the deleted layer.

Layer

Specifies a name for the layer. If a layer has a lock Layer Lock Structure Editor, you cannot delete it because it is required by CADWorx Structure Editor. However, you can still edit the name, color, and line type.

Layer Color

Specifies the color of the layer. Type 1 through 256 to specify the layer color. If you type 0 the software changes the value to 256. After you type the value, the color of the value displays in the Layer Color list.

Line Type

Specifies a line type for the layer.

Import

Imports layers from a .cwxs file. When you make changes to the layer color in the .cwxs file, you must always use the number designation for the color of the layer rather than the word.

To create a layer in the .cwxs file, use the following syntax definition:

Index,Group Description[,layername,layercolor,layerlinetype,layerlineweight].

Example: 01,Member,Member,7,Continuous

For more information, see Import layer and group data.
