The result of this action is that all shapes assigned to a layer will take on the color of the layer they are assigned to. Identify shapes that are on more than one layerįor each layer defined on the page, turn on the Color property and assign a color to it (as described immediately above in "Assign a color to a layer.") Layer colors appear in both the displayed drawing and the printed drawing. Shapes assigned to more than one layer use their original color, rather than the layer color. Turn off the layer color to return each shape to its original color. The color and transparency you assign to shapes on a layer temporarily override each shape's original color and transparency. To make the layer transparent, drag the Transparency slider to the value you want.Ī value of 100% makes the layer invisible a value of 0% makes the layer opaque. Select the layer name, and then, in the Layer Color list, click a color name. In the Layer Properties dialog box, select or clear the check box in the Lock column for the layer.įor the layer you want to color, click in the Color column to add a check mark. Also, shapes cannot be added to a locked layer. Shapes on a locked layer cannot be selected, moved, or edited. To keep the shapes, first use Assign to Layer to remove all shapes from the layer, and then use Layer Properties to remove the layer. In this dialog you can also remove an existing layer, which also deletes all shapes that are assigned to that layer from the diagram. Type a name for the layer and then click OK. In the Layer Properties dialog box, click New. On the Home tab, in the Editing group, click Layers, and then click Layer Properties. If you want to use your own custom layers, first create the layers and then assign shapes to them. You can add and remove layer associations by selecting and clearing the check boxes in this dialog. The layers that the shape belongs to are selected. The Layer dialog opens and shows a list of layers in the diagram. On the Home tab, in the Editing group, click Layers, and then click Assign to Layer. You can keep these default layers, or remove them and create your own. Templates have default layers that shapes are assigned to when you drop the shape on the page. Turn Color on to see which shapes are included in that layer. Turn Glue on or off.Ĭolor – Applies the assigned color to all shapes on a layer. Glue – Ensures that connectors remain attached to shapes. Snap – Ensures that shapes align with a grid or other shapes in the drawing. Lock – Prevent or allow changes to the shapes. Print – Include or exclude a layer when the diagram is printed.Īctive – Automatically assign shapes to active layers when the shapes are added to the diagram. On the Home tab, in the Editing group, click Layers, and then click Layer Properties. You can group a related set of shapes in a layer, which allows you to change various properties of all the layer members at once. In Visio, layers let you organize the shapes in a drawing.
