ABSTRACT
On: Click the on/off icon against a layer name in the On list and the layer can be turned on or off (yellow-coloured icon). If On, constructions can be made on the layer. If Off, constructions on the layer disappear and the layer cannot be used. Freeze: Click the freeze icon against a layer name and the layer is frozen (icon changes shape). Freezing a layer makes objects on that layer disappear. Freezing can be used as an alternative to turning a layer off. Color: The colour of constructions on a layer takes on the colour shown against the layer name. Linetype: The linetype of constructions in a selected layer. Lineweight: Sets the lineweight of objects on screen constructed on the current layer. Note that the linewight of objects does not show on screen unless the Show/Hide Lineweight button is set on in the status bar. However, when printed or plotted, objects do print or plot to the lineweight shown against a layer name. Transparency: A figure between 0 and 90 can be set for transparency against a layer name. When a figure higher than 0 is set, objects constructed on the layer show in a transparent form on screen – the larger the number, the more transparent the objects. Plot Style: Shows the colour to which the objects on a layer will print or plot. Plot: A click on an icon in the Plot list causes the icon to change and, when the drawing on screen is printed or plotted, objects on that layer will not show in the printout. Description: Any description of a layer can be entered in this list.
