Assigning elements to layers
When you place an element on a drawing sheet, drawing view, or sketch, it is assigned automatically to the active layer. To make a different layer the active layer, you can double-click its entry on the Layers tab, or you can use the Make Active command on its shortcut menu.
You can assign an element to only one layer, but you can change the layer that an element is assigned to using the Move Elements button on the Layers tab.
Accessing layers inside drawing views
To manipulate layers inside drawing views, rather than on drawing views, you must be in the Draw In View environment. Outside the Draw In View environment, you can only Show or Hide layers in the drawing views.
Copying and pasting elements between layers
When you copy and paste elements between the draft environment and the 3D environments, the layer scheme is maintained. When you copy 2D elements from a local profile for a profile-based feature, where layers are not supported, and then paste the elements into a draft document or a sketch where layers are supported, the pasted elements are placed on the active layer.
