Active Drawing Layer
By default, the page and pasteboard are the active drawing layer. The active drawing layer is where an object is drawn on the top of the active drawing layer's stack. When selecting objects with the ''Object'' tool or text with the ''Text'' tool, only objects and text on the active drawing layer may be selected. When importing or pasting objects, the objects are placed on the top of the active drawing layer's stack.
To set the active drawing layer with the ''Layers Palette'': Choose ''Show Layer Palette'' from the ''Window'' menu. The ''Layers Palette'' will appear. Click in the far left column of the layer to make the active drawing layer.
To select an object on a layer: Make the layer that the object belongs to the active drawing layer. Select the ''Object'' tool. Select the object. That object may then be moved, rotated, the line & fill changed, deleted, or any other modification possible for the object.
To move an object from one layer to another: Make the layer that the object belongs to the active drawing layer. Select the ''Object'' tool. Select the object to move. Choose ''Cut'' from the ''Edit'' menu. Make the layer that the object is be moved into, the active drawing layer. Choose ''Paste'' from the ''Edit'' menu.
