Editing converted placed objects

The Index option in the Properties palette lets you specify which layer to show of a converted, layered object. This is useful, for example, if using the Edit Original command changes the order in a multilayer object.

To specify the top layer of a converted layered file:

1. Select the multilayered object.
2. Choose Window > Properties.
3. Enter a number in the Index option to move that layer to the top. Entering 0 displays all the layers; other numbers display the specified layer.
