Using the column toggles


    The three columns adjacent to the layers let you selectively hide, display, or lock the contents of layers and layer sets, as well as convert objects to buttons and button sets to individual elements. Clicking the column next to a layer turns the option on or off.

    Display/Hide column

    Hides or displays the layer in the Menu Editor window. The eye icon eye icon next to a layer indicates that it is visible. Hiding layers lets you work on a layer in isolation and makes it easier to adjust a layer that is behind other objects.

    Note: You cannot hide button layer sets, only the elements within them. You also cannot use the Display/Hide column on layers with names that begin with (=1), (=2), or (=3). These are subpicture layers. To hide or display these, you use the Show Normal Subpicture Highlight The Toggle Buttons Display , Show Selected Subpicture Highlight Show Normal Subpicture Highlight , Show Selected Subpicture Highlight , and Show Activated Subpicture Highlight Show Normal Subpicture Highlight , Show Selected Subpicture Highlight , and Show Activated Subpicture Highlight buttons in the Menu Editor window. (See Understanding the Menu Editor window.)

    Lock/Unlock column

    Locks or unlocks a layer in the Menu Editor window. Locking layers or a layer set protects the elements from accidental changes. The lock icon lock icon indicates that it is locked.

    Button/Object column

    Converts the layer to a button or back to an object. The button icon The Toggle Buttons Display indicates that the layer is a button. Converting an object to a button creates a new button layer set with this prefix (+) added to its name. Converting a button set to objects removes the prefix from the layer set name, but leaves the button elements grouped in a layer set.
