Introduction

When adding elements like legends, dimensions, notes, or highlights to a plan, you may find that they don't appear as layers on the page, unlike assemblies and measurements. This can sometimes cause confusion when trying to interact with these items.

Pro Tip at a Glance

To engage elements like legends, dimensions, and highlights, you need to select the page name on the left-hand side. This ensures that the main page layers are active and allows you to interact with these items.

How to Implement the Pro Tip

Follow these steps to make sure your main layers are active:

  1. Step 1: Look at the left-hand side of your screen where the page names are listed.

  2. Step 2: Click on the page name to ensure it is selected.

  3. Step 3: Once the page name is selected, your main layers—including legends, dimensions, notes, and highlights—will be engaged and interactive.

Common Questions

Q: Why don’t legends, dimensions, and highlights appear as layers on the page?
A: These elements are considered part of the main page layers and are not shown as separate layers like measurements and assemblies.
