Managing Layers Configurations

Layers Configuration is the structure in which the layer groups, their names as well as the names and properties of the layers that they contain, are organized. To these layers configurations, you can add different layer Styles, which save the state of display, snap, and indication properties of each layer.

Saving Layers Configuration

The layers configuration is saved automatically when the ARC+ model is saved. This information is stored in the ADB template file attached to the current model, with the same name. To save different layers configurations, you can simply save the model under different names and delete all the entities that it contains, if you do not want them to be displayed while using this template for creating a new file.
