When you delete a layer, you also delete all the objects on it. To keep an object on the layer you’re deleting, move it to a different layer first.

You can delete any unlocked layer except the three default layers of the Master Page (Grid, Guides, or Desktop).

To specify settings for a layer on the Master Page

1Click Tools ` Object manager.

2Right-click the layer, and click Properties.

3Change the settings and click OK.

Changing layer properties and stacking order

By default, each new layer has its editing, printing, and display properties enabled and its master layer property disabled; however, you can change these properties.

You can set a layer’s editing properties to make a layer active, and allow the editing of all layers or the active layer only. When you are making changes to a drawing, you can lock a layer to prevent accidental changes to its objects. When you lock a layer, you cannot select or edit it.

Renaming layers can be used to indicate their contents, position in the stacking order, and relationship with other layers.

You can change a layer’s place in the stacking order.
