Select & Organize

Layers

Organise your design onto layers you can hide, lock, fade and reorder, and gather them into collections.

Steps

Hide, lock or fade parts of your design. Touch and hold a layer for more.
Tap Layers in the top toolbar to open the panel. On iPhone, choose Layers in the More menu (⋯).
Tap a layer to make it the active layer — new shapes are added to it.
Tap + to add a layer above the active one. The new layer becomes the active layer.
Tap the eye to hide a layer, or the lock to keep it from changing. To fade a layer, touch and hold it and choose Opacity.
Double-tap a layer to rename it. To reorder, touch and hold it, then drag it up or down. Drop it on a collection to put it inside.
In a layer's menu, Select Objects selects its shapes, Show In Drawing zooms to them, and Move Objects Here moves your selection onto the layer.
Show Items lists a layer's shapes. Tap one to select it, or touch and hold it for Show In Drawing and, on a group, Edit Group.
To put a layer in a new collection, touch and hold it and choose New Collection. Tap a collection to open or close it.
A collection's eye and lock hide or lock everything inside. To fade every layer in it, touch and hold the collection and choose Opacity.
Delete asks first, then removes a layer with its shapes, or a collection with everything in it. The Default layer always stays.
Tap the panel's title to switch between Layers and Sketch Planes.
