Working with Objects 135

To delete a layer:

• In the Layers tab, select the layer’s name and click the Delete

Layer button.

If you delete a layer, all of the objects on it are lost! So if you want to

keep any of them, move them to another layer first.

You can move layers up or down in the stacking order to place their objects in

front or behind those on other layers, move objects to specific layers, and even

merge layers.

To move a layer in the stacking order:

• In the Layers tab, select the layer's entry, then click the Move

Layer Up or Move Layer Down button to move the layer up or down

in the list, respectively.

- or -

• Drag the selected layer to a new position in the layer stack.

Remember that objects on layers are drawn in the order in which the layers were

initially added to the Layers tab. Put another way: the bottom layer in the Layers

tab stack is drawn first then the second bottom, third bottom etc. A background

layer should be the bottom layer in the Layers tab stack.

The standard object ordering commands (Forward One, Back One, etc.) can be

used on a layer, affecting an object's level within the layer it currently occupies.

For more information, see Ordering objects on p. 132.

At some point you may be confident that objects on separate layers can be

managed on the same layer without compromising layer control. Merging layers

enables this and will help to keep your layer management simpler. This

rationalization is possible via the Merge button.
