Layers

The Layers tab lists the layers displayed in the graphics area of a drawing document.

  • The initial state of layer display reflects how documents were saved in the original document.

  • Resaving documents in SolidWorks eDrawings saves the layers in their initial state.

  • Hidden annotations and dimensions and empty layers are included.

  • Layer states apply to the whole document, not by sheet or view.

  • Markups capture the state of the layers, so if a markup is retrieved, layers are displayed as they were when the markup was created.

  • Shaded data for components in assemblies is published with the layer data.

To hide or show layers:

  • Select the Layers tab SolidWorks eDrawings tab layers Layers.

  • Select or clear the named layers under Displayed Layers.

To select multiple items in the list:

  1. Press Ctrl or Shift while selecting, or press Ctrl+A to select all.

  2. Select or clear a check box to select or clear all selected items.
