Deleting layers

Deleting an unwanted layer is easy in Xara LX (but see Notes).

To delete a layer

1. From the Utilities menu, choose Layer Gallery.

2. Click on the name of the layer you want to delete. This selects it.

3. Click the Delete button. You are warned if there are objects on the layer.

Notes

The Layer Gallery is dimmed in Animation documents as these cannot contain layers.

Layers MouseOff, MouseOver, MouseDown, Selected and BackBar are used by the Button & NavBar Tool. We do not recommend deleting these layers as this could affect navigation bar creation. For more information on bar creation see Creating Navigation Bars.

Tips

As an alternative to deleting a layer, you can also hide it (make it invisible). This is useful if you might want the layer in the future. See Hiding layers.

You can quickly delete a layer by right-clicking on it to open the pop-up menu and choosing Delete.
