Table 1. Layers Sheet Dialog Box Contents
Field	Description

Usage Notes

Moving an individual layer up or down in the list has no effect on the drawing of the view (objects are always drawn according to their Z-order in the Object Sheet dialog box).

The current Insertion Layer determines which layer new objects are inserted into. Click on a layer name in the list to select it as the Insertion Layer.

Double-click the View and Lock items to the left of the layer name in the list to toggle these states.
