Creating Special Effects
Using Layers
The Layers effect duplicate selected shapes, giving the appearance of several thicknesses. The
Layers dialog box controls the following terms:
♦ Number of Layers
♦ Spacing (Angle and Depth)
♦ Distance
♦ Application (Composite and Partials)
♦ Relief
Info
The Info group box lets you enter the Number of Layers desired in the shape (up to 100).
Spacing
The Spacing group box gives you the choice of entering values for Depth and Angle, or turning
on Distance and entering values for X and Y. Depth/Angle and Distance X/Y determine the
placement of the layers. When Distance is turned on, the X and Y text boxes are available. When
Distance is turned off, the Depth and Angle text boxes are available.
