![]() ![]() To create a new layer: click on black solid arrow to Show Layer List. Select the layer you want to edit β it highlights and edit it in the Properties panel, for example the layer colour, the linetype, the line weight, its transparency, whether you wish it to plot (print) or not. Itβs sometimes useful to drag the panel to one side so you can see the Layers and Properties panels side by side. If they are still not visible, go to Window > Layers > and turn off and on again β they should appear this time. Whereas in the PC version we have the Layers Property manager in Layers tab of the top Ribbon (also by typing LA in the Command Line), in the Mac version we go to Tools > Palettes > Layers. But the way we create and modify layers in the Macintosh version of Autocad is slightly different from how we do it in the Windows version. We can think of them as sheets of acetate overlay, which can be hidden or modified. ![]() Alternatively certain industries or companies may have their own conventions for the use of layers, for example furniture, external walls, internal walls, doors & windows, contours, etc. Layers are used for different elements of the drawing, like construction lines, dimensions, text, hatching, etc. We explore all the essential functions of the program in our Autocad training courses. On the Display tab, drag the layer up or down in the table of contents.Layers in Autocad Mac are used to organize and categorize a drawing.Very fast flicker rates can be used to make differences between layers appear to jump out due to the optical effect of the eye being attracted to changes between rapidly alternating displays (an effect also exploited by the early experiments in cinematography). Flicker is particularly useful for temporal change detection (especially of satellite images or aerial photographs taken at different times of the same location), data quality comparison, and other analyses where you want to see the difference between layers. Click the Flicker button again or pan and zoom the map to stop flickering. The Flicker tool on the Effects toolbar automatically flickers the layer chosen in the Layer drop-down list on and off using the time interval specified in milliseconds in the Flicker Rate input box. You can also hold down either the CTRL or SHIFT key and the mouse button to swipe without having to drag left/right or up/down. This will swipe the layer in the direction you were pausing on. This lets you choose the direction you want to swipe the layer. You'll notice that the pointer changes based on whether you are pausing it at the top, bottom, left, or right of the map. To use the tool, choose the layer or group layer you want to swipe from the Layer drop-down list on the Effects toolbar, then move the pointer over the map. ![]() This tool makes it easy to quickly see what is underneath a particular layer without having to turn it off in the table of contents or reorder layers. The Swipe tool on the Effects toolbar is used to interactively reveal layers beneath the layer you chose to swipe. Seeing which layers are drawn under a layer You can easily move layers around to adjust their drawing order or organize them in separate data frames. Within a data frame, the layers listed at the top of the Display tab will draw over those listed below them, and so on, down the list. The order in which layers are listed in the table of contents determines how layers are drawn on a map. ![]()
