7.5 Layers

Layers provide a very effective way to organize the objects you create with CorelDraw. You can
reduce your work time using them and make it easier to handle the job at hand, and increase the
accuracy level of your designs.

7.5.1 Working with Layers in CorelDraw

We have multiple options while working with layers. Some of them are discussed below:

Create a Layer

To create a layer:
1. Click Tools % Object manager.

2. Click the flyout button, and click New layer.
To create a master layer:
1. Click Tools % Object manager.

2. Click the flyout button, and click New master layer
To use a layer in the drawing, you must first make the layer active. In the Object manager
docker, the active layer is highlighted in red. When you start a drawing, the default layer (Layer
1) is the active layer. When you create a master layer, it moves to the master page.

Delete a Layer

To delete a layer:
1. Click Tools % Object manager.
2. Click the name of a layer.

3. Click the flyout button, and click Delete layer.

!
Caution When you delete a layer, you also delete all the objects on it. To keep an object on
the layer you’re deleting, move it to a different layer first. You can delete any unlocked
layer except the three default layers of the master page (Grid, Guides and Desktop).
