Working in layers Illustrator


•Working in layers
Illustrator's layers allow you to simplify your work. With layers, you can modify, edit, hide or delete one layer of content while the other layers remain intact.
 Open the Layers palette by choosing Show Layers from the Window menu
 Click on the name of the layer you want to work on. This layer becomes current.
 Know that you can create a new layer by clicking on the layer icon on the bottom of the Layers palette.
 Understand that you can name the layer by clicking on the arrow at the upper right corner of the palette.
 Realize that you can delete a layer by selecting it, then clicking on the trash can icon at the bottom of the Layers palette.
 Know that you can make a layer invisible by clicking on the eye icon that appears on the left side of each layer. To restore visibility, click on the space where the eye icon used to be.
 Understand that you can move objects between layers by cutting and pasting, or you can select the object and drag it to the Layers palette. Release it on the layer that you want to use.
 Know that you can relocate layers by clicking on the layer to be moved and dragging it to its new location in the Layers palette.
 Realize that when you're finished, you can flatten your artwork into one layer by selecting the layer that you want to use and choosing Flatten Artwork from the Layers palette.
