View the arrangement of image layers

Organize a sketch using image layers

Name an image layer
Create an image layer
Choose Windows > Editors > Canvas Layer Editor
.
Before you can create
an image layer, you must have at least one canvas plane present. See Create a canvas plane.
By default, a canvas
plane contains one image layer, in addition to the Background layer. You
can, however, create several additional image layers for each canvas
plane in the Windows > Editors > Canvas Layer Editor
.
NoteIf
your scene does not contain any canvas planes, and you start sketching
in a window, Alias opens up the New Canvas option
box, prompting you to create a new canvas plane (with a single layer)
in the active view.
To create a new image layer
- Choose Windows > Editors > Canvas Layer Editor
.
- Select the image layer above which you
want to create a new image layer.
See Select an image layer.
- In the Canvas Layer Editor,
click the
button, or choose Layer
> New image layer from the menu.
A blank image layer is added to the canvas plane
(above the active image layer) and becomes the active image layer.
