Project-specific Layer Settings

You can select to use project-specific layer settings instead of the default layer scheme. The settings are saved in a project-specific component library. You can disable the project-specific settings by re-enabling the default layers of the system. In this case, the component library folder is deleted from the project folder.

1. Open the project's document browser.
2. Open Settings > Design settings.
3. Double-click Default layers.
4. Do either of the following:
   • Use system layers as default - The project-specific layer settings are disabled, and the component library folder complibs/vxlayer-schemes_proj is deleted from the project folder.
   • Use project-specific layers as default - Set the desired layers by clicking Edit project-specific layers. Edit the layers in the same way as the layers in the default layer scheme. The settings are saved in the project-specific component library complibs/vxlayer_schemes-proj folder.
5. Select Update layers in existing drawings to load the selected default layer scheme (system layers or project-specific layers) into all project’s drawings. The layer names, visibility and layer groups are updated to the project’s drawings.
6. Confirm the updating of the project's drawings by clicking Yes.

Note: Selecting Update layers in existing drawings corresponds to the function Restore Default Layer Scheme for the Entire Project, but to switch from project-specific layers back to system default levels, you must perform the update with this Default layers function in the project document browser.
