Creating a vector layer

Use the New Vector Layer button to create an empty vector layer above the currently selected vector layer. You can create as many vector layers as you like in a model. This enables you to separate your vector artwork and control what is displayed and when.

To create a vector layer:

1. In the Project Tree, click the Vectors item or a vector layer. The Vector Layers panel is displayed below the splitter bar.
2. On the panel, click .
   Tip: Alternatively, click the New Vector Layer icon next to the Vectors item in the Project Tree.

   By default, each new vector layer you create is:

   • named Vector Layer.
   • numbered sequentially.
   • active.
   • selected.
   • added to the layer stack directly above the layer which was previously active.
   • given a default colour of black.
   • unlocked.
   • using snapping.
   • visible in the 2D view.

Note: If you are working in the 3D view, click the Toggle Vector Visibility button on the 3D View toolbar to display vector artwork.
