Specifying the Drawing Sheet and Layers

When you work with a drawing source (DWF) layer, you can specify which sheet and layers to use. Sheets are individual plot sheets containing views or layouts of the original data. You must specify a single sheet to display in the layer. If the DWF was published from a DWG file, and layers were enabled, you can turn layers on and off.

To specify the sheet and layers

  1. Open the layer to edit by doing one of the following:
    • Create a new layer.
    • Double-click an existing layer.
    • Click the layer’s tab if the layer is already open.

    For information about creating a new layer, see Creating New Resources. For information about associating a data resource with a new layer, see Specifying the Data Resource for a Layer.

  2. In the Settings pane of the Layer Editor, under Drawing Data Setup, for Which Drawing Sheet, select the sheet to use for the layer.
  3. For Include Only These Layers, click […].
  4. In the Select Layers dialog box, do one of the following:
    • In the Layers list, select the layers to display.
    • Click Select All to select all available layers.

    Click Clear All to clear selected layers.

  5. Click OK.
  6. Click File menu Save.
