Drawing Layers

In Vertex, elements are drawn on layers, totaling 256, layers 0 to 255. They layers could be considered to be on top of each other in the way shown in the picture. Elements of different types have been drawn on different layers. Each layer may have several layers in use.

You can use layer visibility settings to sort out different information in the drawing for easier viewing. When you hide a certain layer, the elements added to that layer will not longer be visible in the drawing.

The grouping of elements on different layers is useful for example when printing a drawing, allowing you to select which drawing layers are printed.

Layer Groups

You can use layer groups to turn elements on several layers visible at once while hiding the others. Layers belonging to layer groups are defined in the settings.
