Keep the following points in mind when you delete layers:

• If you try to delete a layer that still has objects on it, you receive an error message. To delete this layer, you must first erase all objects on it in the drawing.
• If the layer you try to delete is the current layer, you receive an error message. To delete this layer, make another layer current and then delete the layer.
• Some layers may be assigned to the components of another object, or even to other object styles. These layers cannot be deleted.
