Often when you create a layer you are create a
group or more than one layer at a time. This tip will show you how
to do this through the Layer Properties Manager.
Step 1 -
Startup the Layers dialog box. You can type in LAYER
or go to the Format pull down and select Layer...
Either one of these methods will bring up the
Layer dialog box.
Step
2 -
Once the dialog box is up you want to select or highlight
the layer you wish to copy to create a new layer from.
Step
3 -
Click the New command button. This will create a
new layer with the default name of Layer 1. Change the
properties as needed.
If you wanted to then create another new layer you can
continue to repeat the above steps starting at Step 2.
