Rules for modifying objects on a layer
♦ Within each layer (or in a single layer job) objects are also organized in stacking order.
An object at the top of the stack is in front of other objects below it in the stack.
♦ Select the object on the work surface and it is selected on the Layer Tree. Select objects
by clicking the name in the Layer Tree and it is automatically selected on the work
surface.
♦ Use Shift+click and Ctrl+click to select multiple objects.
♦ Click a layer and then choose Select All in the right-click menu to select all objects on
that layer.
♦ Rearrange objects within a layer by dragging them above (in front) or below (in back)
other objects.
♦ Use the Arrange commands: In Front of, In Back of, To Front, To Back, Front 1, or Back
1 to reorder objects. These commands are found in the Arrange menu or Arrange
toolbar, or by right-clicking an object and displaying the context menu.
♦ Move objects onto a new layer by dragging them to the new layer or cutting and
pasting them to a new layer. Use the Paste Back In Front or Paste Back In Back
commands in the right-click context menu for more control.
♦ When creating a clipping path, objects in the clipping set must be on the same layer.
