Layersare named groups that organize drawing objects by color, line weight, line type, and visibility. Assigning objects to layers keeps complex drawings manageable and makes bulk changes (hide a floor, lock a grid) instant.
Attribute Stylescontrol the visual appearance of dimensions, capi, linee della griglia, testo, and tables. Styles let you define the exact look once and apply it consistently to all annotations across the drawing.
Layers
Layers are managed from theLayersaccordion in the top-right panel. Clicca il Layersheader to expand it. The panel shows all layers in the project and controls for adding, la modifica, and deleting them.
Layers are shared across all canvases in the project. An object on any canvas can be assigned to any layer, and layer visibility and lock settings apply project-wide.
Add a Layer
Create a new named layer with custom color, peso, and line type
Open theLayers pannello, fill in the layer settings below the list, then clickAdd New. The layer appears in the list immediately and is available as the active layer in the toolbar dropdown.
Step-by-step
1Open theLayersaccordion in the top-right panel.
2Enter aLayer Name, choose acolore, and configure line weight and line type.
3Clic Add New. The layer appears in the list and can be selected as the active layer.
💡
vogliamo rispecchiare il nostro magazzino attraverso il piano YZ:Use a consistent naming convention from the start, tra cui Strutturale, Annotations, Griglia, e Dimensioni, to make large drawings easier to manage.
Layer Properties
Configure the visual and behavioural properties of a layer
Click any layer in the list to load its properties into the fields below. Edit the values, then clickUpdateto save.
Proprietà
Descrizione
Layer Name
A unique label for the layer shown in the list and the active-layer dropdown.
Layer Color
The color applied to all objects on this layer whenColors by Layersis on.
Line Weight
Stroke thickness for all lines on this layer, in the current project units.
Line Type
Pattern applied to lines: Solid, Dashed, Dotted, Dash-Dot, Dash-Dot-Dot, Centro, or Phantom.
Line Type Scale
Multiplier for the dash/dot pattern size (0.1 per 10). Only shown for non-solid line types.
Lock
Prevents objects on this layer from being selected or moved. Vedere Lock a Layer.
💡
vogliamo rispecchiare il nostro magazzino attraverso il piano YZ:Changes to a layer’s color, peso, or line type take effect immediately on all objects assigned to that layer, even if those objects are on different canvases.
Active Layer
Set which layer new geometry is assigned to when it is drawn
La active layeris selected from the layer dropdown in the top toolbar. Any geometry you draw while a layer is active is automatically assigned to that layer. Selezionare No Layerto draw objects without a layer assignment.
A small color indicator next to the dropdown shows the active layer’s color at a glance.
💡
vogliamo rispecchiare il nostro magazzino attraverso il piano YZ:Switch the active layer before drawing rather than reassigning objects afterwards. This keeps your workflow faster and the layer list accurate.
Show and Hide Layers
Toggle layer visibility to reduce clutter while working
Clicca il eye iconnext to any layer in the list to toggle its visibility. Hidden layers are not drawn on the canvas and are excluded from exports. Objects on hidden layers cannot be selected.
💡
vogliamo rispecchiare il nostro magazzino attraverso il piano YZ:Hide annotation or dimension layers when doing geometry work to reduce visual noise. Remember to make them visible again before exporting.
Lock a Layer
Prevent objects on a layer from being accidentally selected or moved
Select a layer in the list and check theLock Items Select / Mossa casella di controllo, then clickUpdate. Locked layer objects are still visible on the canvas but cannot be clicked, selezionato, or moved. This protects reference geometry such as column grids or site boundaries.
💡
vogliamo rispecchiare il nostro magazzino attraverso il piano YZ:Locking a background or imported-image layer prevents you from accidentally selecting it while drawing over it.
Colors by Layers
Override individual object colors with the layer color
Enable theColors by Layerscheckbox in the View/Display settings (left sidebar). When on, every object that belongs to a layer is rendered in that layer’s color, regardless of the color set on the object itself. This is useful for distinguishing structural categories at a glance.
💡
vogliamo rispecchiare il nostro magazzino attraverso il piano YZ:Objects not assigned to any layer always use their individual object color, even whenColors by Layersis on.
Delete a Layer
Remove a layer from the project
Select the layer in the list and clickEliminare. The layer is removed from the project. Objects that were assigned to the deleted layer are not deleted but lose their layer assignment and revert to their individual object colors.
⚠️
Nota:Deleting a layer cannot be undone. If you only want to remove objects from view temporarily, use the visibility toggle instead.
Attribute Styles
Attribute Styles are named presets that define the visual appearance of annotations. A style controls arrow shape and size, text size and offset, precisione, prefix and suffix, tolerances, e altro ancora, for all four annotation types: Lineare, Angolo, Raggio, e Leader. A style also controlsLinea della griglia, Text, e tavoloappearance.
Every project starts with a built-inDefault Style. You can create as many additional styles as needed, for example one for small-scale structural drawings and one for large-scale detail sheets.
Attribute Styles are managed from theAttribute Stylesaccordion in the left sidebar. The active style for new annotations is selected from a dropdown in the top toolbar.
Create a Style
Define a new named set of annotation appearance settings
Open theAttribute Stylesaccordion in the left sidebar. Type a name in the style name field and clickAdd New. The new style is created with default settings and appears in the list. You can then open the settings dialog to configure it.
Step-by-step
1Open theAttribute Stylesaccordion in the left sidebar.
2Enter a name in the style name field and clickAdd New.
3Clicca il impostazioni (gear) pulsanteto open the style dialog.
4Adjust settings across each section, then clickApplicareto save.
💡
vogliamo rispecchiare il nostro magazzino attraverso il piano YZ:New styles start with factory defaults. Clic Ripristinainside the dialog at any time to return all settings to those defaults.
Edit a Style
Change the settings of an existing style, with live preview
Select a style in the list, quindi fare clic su gear buttonto open the settings dialog. The dialog is divided into collapsible sections: one per annotation type plus text, tables, e griglie. Expand each section to adjust its settings.
Use the dialog actions to control when changes are committed:
Anteprima:Temporarily applies the current dialog values to the canvas so you can see the effect without saving. Closing the dialog without Apply reverts the preview.
Applicare:Saves the dialog values to the style and redraws the canvas. All existing annotations that use this style update immediately.
Ripristina:Restores all dialog inputs to the factory defaults without saving.
💡
vogliamo rispecchiare il nostro magazzino attraverso il piano YZ:The dialog is draggable. Drag the header bar to position it beside the canvas so you can see the annotation you are editing while adjusting settings.
Apply a Style
Set the active style for new annotations, or assign a style to existing ones
There are two ways to use a style:
Active style for new annotations:Select a style from theAttribute Styledropdown in the top toolbar. All new dimensions, capi, linee della griglia, and text created after this point will use that style.
Apply to existing selection:Select one or more annotation objects on the canvas, then choose a style from the dropdown. The style is applied to the selected objects immediately.
Styles can be applied to dimensions (lineare, angolo, radius), leader text, multi-leader text, linee della griglia, etichette di testo, and tables.
💡
vogliamo rispecchiare il nostro magazzino attraverso il piano YZ:Set the active style to the correct one before placing annotations, rather than selecting and reassigning them afterwards. This saves time on large drawings.
