Deleting items in the Layers palette
Deleting a layer also deletes all artwork that is in the layer. For example, if you delete a
layer that contains sublayers, groups, paths, and clipping sets, all those elements will be
deleted along with the layer.
To delete items in the Layers palette:
1 Select an item in the Layers palette.
2 Do one of the following:
Click the Trash button in the Layers palette, or drag the item onto the Trash button.
•
Choose Delete "Layer name" from the Layers palette menu.
•
Note: A document must have a least one layer. If a document has only one layer, the Trash
button and Delete command are not available.
Changing the display of layered artwork
By default, Illustrator assigns different colors to selection marks on each layer and to the
corresponding layer color square in the Layers palette. You can change this layer color
setting to better suit your needs.
You can switch the view mode of the artwork in a layer—between Preview view and
Outline view—to display some items as outlines and other items as they will appear in the
final artwork. (See "Viewing artwork as paths" on page
images to make it easier to edit artwork on top of the image. This is especially useful when
tracing a bitmap image.
