Delete a Layer

Delete a Layer
Next, you delete a layer from the list view.
1. In the tree view, click All to display all layers in the drawing.
In the list view, under Status, notice the green check mark next to the layer GRID-LINE.
The green check mark indicates the current layer.
In the FURNITURE layer, notice that the Status column displays a white layer icon (instead
of blue). This indicates that the layer is empty. The Status column makes it easy to see
which layer is current and which layers are empty.
Near the bottom of the Layer Properties Manager, in the Layers status line, the total
number of layers (27) is displayed.
2. In the Layer Properties Manager, right-click Status, and then click Maximize All
Columns.
When all columns are maximized, longer layer names are displayed.
3. Click the FURNITURE layer to select it, and then click the Delete Layer icon
above the tree view. (Only layers that do not contain objects can be deleted.)
Notice that a red X is now displayed on the FURNITURE layer icon to indicate it is marked
for deletion.
4. Click Apply to delete the FURNITURE layer.
With Apply, you can make and view changes to layer states in your drawing without closing
the Layer Properties Manager.
The FURNITURE layer is deleted from the drawing and from the list view. Notice that the
number of layers listed in the Layers status line has changed to 26.
Do not close the Layer Properties Manager.
