Assigning Objects to Layers


Purpose

You may want to assign picked objects to a layer name or number that you can type in the prompt line.

This technique is useful if:

  • You know the layer name or number you want to assign your object(s) to.
  • You use hotkeys or marking menus and want to assign objects to layers quickly.

How to Assign Layers

1
Pick the objects which you want to assign.
2
Select Layers > Assign to layer.
3
Type the layer name or number in the prompt line.
The objects are assigned to the specified layer.
>
Note: The layer number must be preceded by the letter L or l (lower case L). For example, to assign to layer number 57, type L57 or l57.

How to Undo the Assignment

1
Pick the objects for which you want to undo the layer assignment.
2
Select Layers > Undo assign.
The objects are assigned to the default layer; they are no longer assigned to any other layer.
