00:00:08,860 –> 00:00:14,049
In this video we will see some of the tools
that help you work faster with CAD layers

2
00:00:14,049 –> 00:00:15,480
in ARES Commander.

3
00:00:15,480 –> 00:00:20,640
For example, we can hide a layer,
just by selecting an entity located on that

4
00:00:20,640 –> 00:00:21,640
layer.

5
00:00:21,640 –> 00:00:24,270
Or, activate all layers at once.

6
00:00:24,270 –> 00:00:28,680
We can even lock a layer,
just by selecting an entity that belongs to

7
00:00:28,680 –> 00:00:29,680
it.

8
00:00:29,680 –> 00:00:35,300
Of course, we can also unlock layers
by selecting one or more entities at a time.

9
00:00:35,300 –> 00:00:39,680
All of these Layer tools help us to work faster with layers in ARES Commander

Isolate Layer Command

10
00:00:39,680 –> 00:00:42,740
One of my favorites
is the Isolate Layer command

11
00:00:42,740 –> 00:00:47,000
that allows isolating the layer of selected
entities

12
00:00:47,000 –> 00:00:49,280
All the other layers will be hidden.

13
00:00:49,280 –> 00:00:55,910
You can run the Unisolate Layer command
to revert back the changes.

14
00:00:55,910 –> 00:00:59,760
We can also use this other feature
to define the active layer

15
00:00:59,760 –> 00:01:04,199
by selecting an entity,
which can be very helpful.

16
00:01:04,199 –> 00:01:08,110
With Change Entity’s layer
we can move an entity to another layer

17
00:01:08,110 –> 00:01:14,790
by selecting a second entity belonging to
the new layer.

18
00:01:14,790 –> 00:01:19,470
See also how I will change the active layer
by simply selecting an entity.

19
00:01:19,470 –> 00:01:24,040
In this other example,
we will use the ENTITY TO ACTIVE LAYER command

20
00:01:24,040 –> 00:01:28,479
and after selecting an entity,
We see that it is now moved to the active

21
00:01:28,479 –> 00:01:29,479
layer.

22
00:01:29,479 –> 00:01:30,479
Easy, isn’t it?

23
00:01:30,479 –> 00:01:35,530
Next, we will select this group of entities, currently belonging to the layer “BOUNGALOWS

Layer Delete Command

24
00:01:35,530 –> 00:01:39,490
1″,
and with the command LAYER DELETE,

25
00:01:39,490 –> 00:01:42,760
We can delete the layer to which the entities
belong.

26
00:01:42,760 –> 00:01:43,760
Yes.

27
00:01:43,760 –> 00:01:48,250
ARES Commander allows you to delete a layer
AND all its content.

28
00:01:48,250 –> 00:01:52,270
This is why, ARES Commander asks you to confirm
by YES or NO

29
00:01:52,270 –> 00:01:54,270
before deleting the content.

30
00:01:54,270 –> 00:01:58,030
As you can see,
the “BOUNGALOWS 1” layer has now disappeared

31
00:01:58,030 –> 00:02:00,009
along with its content.

32
00:02:00,009 –> 00:02:03,820
