Hi

Can anyone tell me the keyboard short cuts to access layers. Is it possible to change layers using the keyboard or, for example, move a line form one layer to another without using the mouse to do it with the layer list drop down box or the properties manager layer list box. I’m looking for a keyboard shortcut or a command line command.

I’ve looked up layers in help but can’t find anything about switching layers using keys.

Any help would be much appreciated.

 

Cheers

Dave

Just type -LAYER at the command line, (be sure to include the dash preceeding the command). There are many options available from the command prompt.

Please see the related tip 6982 - you can switch layers using hotkeys.
