Exploring The Layer Manager Technical drawings are characterized by using LAYERS. It’s easy to organize drawings using layers. In this video, we will learn how to create and configure layers in technical drawings. For that, we need to click on LAYER MANAGER. Then press NEW. Name the layer. Determine if that layer is going to be visible or not. If it will be blocked. Or assign a color. We can also determine the line type known in ARES as “line style”. Or you may also load a specific line style. Layers may have a line thickness configured. Note however that, at the time of printing, there is the possibility to use a print style to change these parameters. In such a way that we can keep the thickness of the drawing, or we can make a new configuration according to the colors. Layer Options A layer can be transparent or

What Are Layer States in CAD Drawings? Working with a file with multiple layers can be time-consuming, especially if we frequently have to enable and disable multiple layers. Even if this drop-down menu is helping us. It is clear that, as we move forward in such a project, we will have to frequently activate and deactivate layers, or groups of layers. For example, to separate those that are related to nature, from others like the layers related to the buildings of this project. ARES Commander allows us to save the properties of the layers, in what is called “LAYER STATES”. From the LAYER STATES MANAGER box, we can create a new state with a custom name. Now, we edit the new layer state. In the edit dialog box, we will choose to make visible all layers related to vegetation. Hiding Layers We want the remaining layers to stay hidden. It
