Layers Panel

Layers are managed through a dedicated panel that can be opened using the specific command bar button. The Layer panel looks like the Element panel but contains both Model Elements and Graphic Symbols allowing the user to:

  • Create / edit Layers.
  • Assign / reassign Graphic Symbol to a Layer.

Although Layers are Model entities, for compatibility reasons, graphic Layers are supported in SFHub displays.
