Viewing layers

With the Object Layers palette, you can control whether a layer is visible. A visible layer displays a preview or thumbnail of its contents. Only visible layers are exported and printed.

To show or hide a layer:

Do one of the following:

• In the Object Layers palette, click the Show/Hide button  next to a layer to show or hide that layer and its thumbnail. Click in the column again to redisplay the layer.
• Alt-click (Windows) or Option-click (Mac OS) the Show/Hide button for a layer to hide all other layers.

Note: You can hide the selected layer. Keep in mind, however, that changes still affect the selected layer, even if it is hidden.
