Adding Layers to a Model

When adding layers to a model, please make note of these points:

• Right-clicking a symbol and selecting 'Assign Layers' causes all layers to display in Build mode.
• When you add a symbol to the display, it is automatically added to all active layers.
• A one-to-one correspondence exists between ProcessBook layers and Modeler layers in a display.
• Lock a layer to prevent moving objects to/from that layer.
• In Run Mode, you only see the visible layers.

The use of multiple layers in a Model is optional. However, working with two or more layers adds considerable flexibility to the operation of the model.

To add a layer to a model:

1. In the Modeler, open the AF Property window.

2. Select the Model tab.

3. Right-click on Layers and select New Layer from the pop-up menu.

   The Modeler creates a new layer and assigns it a default name of Layer 1.

4. To rename the new layer, right-click on it and select Rename.

5. Type the new name for the layer.

6. Repeat these steps to create as many layers as needed.

Note: Layers that you create in a Model are coordinated with ProcessBook layers.
