The Symbol Layers sub-menu lets you define which is the
principle layer into which symbols are inserted. By default all symbols
are referenced by a layer called "Parts". Although no drawing
objects like lines or text are ever visible on the Parts layer this layer
is vital to the operation of Stardraw A/V Lite.
Because it references every symbol it must always be visible and each
of the preset views ensure that it is visible. If the Parts layer is not
displayed, any symbol which is referenced by it will be invisible in all
other layers.
If, in the Symbols Layer menu, you select "Work Layer", new
symbols will be referenced by whichever layer is your current active or
working layer. This can be useful if you have a requirement for layer-selective
reporting or wish to tie products more closely to layers. For
example, if your current layer is "Video Circuit Paths" and
you set your symbol layer to be "Work Layer", all symbols that
you add from this point forward will exist on the "Video Circuit
Paths" layer. Then,
if you hide that layer, the symbols will also be hidden.
