How can layers be used in visio
RE: Are there any layers in visio?
Runa
Thanks for your question.
A layer is a method of grouping similar items together. Layers let you simultaneously change the visibility, printability, line color, and line width of all shapes located on the same layer. Layers are a good way to organize drawings, because the same drawing can be used for different disciplines, each using their own set of layers, and each being able to see the others. For example, the lighting engineer can see the ventilation outlets in a reflected ceiling plan, but they can also be printed and viewed separately. Moreover, the line colour of items on a layer can be changed to identify them more easily.
Visio has the ability to have a shape assigned to more than one layer. This can be useful, for example, when your diagram has a Partition layer, and you want some shapes on the To Be Removed layer and some on the New Layer.
I hope this answers your question
Layers arer covered on our advanced course.
