Display Layers

Using this dialog box, you display or hide different layers.
The dialog box is opened by the Display Layer function in the Tools menu.

The designation of the layers 1 to 14 is based on the ANSI standard.

It is advisable to deactivate the left checkbox in the dialog box and to save the shape. This saves only the lines of the Boundary lines layer in the new file. This ensures that the file can be loaded into the shape editor. The conditions for this is naturally that all limits lines of the shape (and only these lines) have been saved on this layer by the shape system.
