Edit markup layers
- 2 Minutes to read
Each markup you make on a plan sheet is added as a layer. The set of markups made in one session forms a layer group. Each layer group is saved when published, with a group name specified while publishing.
The layer editor shows the layer groups and individual layers as a tree structure. You can edit the layer group or individual layers, copy a layer group for use on another plan sheet, lock the markups to protect them from inadvertent changes, and so on.
