Working with layers
If you are drawing something simple, you don’t really need to make use of
layers—you can do all your work on the single layer that every new document
has. However, if you’re creating something a little more tricky then layers can be
a vital aid in separating objects into independent sets. You can think of layers as
transparent sheets of paper upon which you can draw your objects.
Layers are useful when you're working on a complex design where it makes
sense to separate one cluster of objects from another. The whole drawing is
produced by piling up the layers and viewing all of the objects on all of the
layers; you can choose which layer you are editing and thus make changes
without fear of modifying anything on another layer. In essence, by building up
your drawing from multiple layers you make it much easier to edit.
