Layer Properties Dialog Box

With the Layer Properties dialog box you can alter the properties of a layer
and change the guides layer
settings. The dialog has two sections, one for layers and one for guides.

Layer

With the Layer tab in the dialog box you can alter:

The name of the layer. See Renaming layers.

Whether the layer is visible. See Hiding layers. Dimmed for Animation documents
.

Whether objects in the layer can be edited. See Locking layers. Dimmed for Animation documents
.

These settings are duplicates of those shown in the Layer Gallery itself.

Guides

The Guides tab allows you to create new guidelines
and set the color of all the guidelines and guide objects
in the guides layer.

The Horizontal\Vertical setting sets whether horizontal or vertical guidelines are shown.

The New button allows you to create a new guideline.

The Delete button deletes the selected guideline(s).

The Properties button opens the Guideline Properties dialog box and allows you to set the exact position of the selected guideline.

At the bottom of the dialog box is a drop-down list from which you can select the color used to display the dotted outlines of all objects in the guides layer. For more details, see Changing the color of guides.
