Screen Layers
The Screen Layers display can be invoked from either the Levels/Layers button in the Formatting
ribbon group in Edit Mode, or by right-clicking on the oneline diagram background and choosing Edit
Screen Layers.
Screen layers provide a method to filter objects on a oneline diagram based on either zoom level or to
which layer the objects are assigned. Initially each object is in a common layer called Default, which
cannot be modified or deleted. You can create new layers using the Screen Layers display.
Since the Screen Layers display is a Case Information Display, it shares the of other case information
displays. You can access many case information display features by right-clicking on the display to
invoke the local popup menu. Most importantly, this menu contains the options to Insert and Delete
screen layers.
To delete a screen layer, right-click on that layer in the display and select Delete from the popup
menu. The one exception is the Default layer, which cannot be deleted.
To insert a new screen layer, right-click on a record in the display and choose Insert from the popup
menu. This will open the Screen Layer Options dialog for defining the options of the new layer you are
inserting. You can also define a new layer by going to the Onelines ribbon tab, then on the Active
ribbon group choose Screen Layer > Define Screen Layer.
