Change Layer Order Tool

What it Does

Moves a layer to a different parent layer. A layer is like a sheet of tracing paper that holds part of your drawing. A parent layer is the layer that holds another layer, like a folder holds files. When you move a layer, everything on it moves with it.

Use this to tidy your layers, or to group several layers under one new parent layer.

How to Use

1. Activate the tool by clicking the Change Layer Order icon
2. Select the layer you want to move, then select Continue
3. Select New Parent Layer or Existing Parent Layer, then select Continue

New Parent Layer

1. Enter a name in the Name: box, then select Continue
2. Select where the new parent layer should go. It is created inside the layer you select
3. Select Save to keep the change, or Cancel to leave without changing it

Existing Parent Layer

1. Select the layer that will hold the layer you are moving. The layer moves as soon as you select it
2. Select Save to keep the change, or Cancel to leave without changing it

info

The first list includes pro-number layers. The list for choosing an existing parent layer does not include the workspace itself, so the layer must go inside another layer.

🧠Memorization

When you memorize a draft, the move is remembered, including the name of a new parent layer.
