Duplicating a layer
When you duplicate a layer, you copy its contents and settings. The duplicate layer then
appears above the original layer in the Layers palette. Any duplicated frames that were
threaded to other frames on the layer remain threaded. Duplicated frames whose originals
were threaded to frames on other layers are no longer threaded to those frames.
To duplicate a layer:
In the Layers palette, do one of the following:
Select the layer name and choose Duplicate [layer name] in the Layers palette menu.
•
Drag a layer name and drop it on the New Layer button .
•
Choosing a layer color
Assigning a color to a layer makes it easier to distinguish the layers of different selected
objects. For each layer that contains a selected object, the Layers palette displays a dot in
the layer's color. On the page, each object displays the color of its layer in its selection
handles, bounding box, text ports, text wrap boundary (if used), and frame edges
(including the X displayed by an empty graphics frame).
The layer color does not appear for an unselected frame if its edges are hidden; see
"Showing and hiding frame edges" on page
To specify a selection color for a layer:
1 In the Layers palette, double-click a layer or select a layer and choose Layer Options for
[layer name].
2 For Color, choose a preset color. You can also choose Other, or double-click the color
box to specify a color in the system color picker.
Changing the order of layers
Change the stacking order of layers in your document by rearranging the layers on the
Layers palette. Rearranging layers changes the order of layers on every page, not just on
the target spread.
