Deleting vector layers

Use the Delete Vector Layer  button to delete any vector layer from the stack, with the exception of the Default Layer.

To delete vector layers:

  1. In the Project Tree, select the layer, or layers, you want to delete. Its panel is displayed below the splitter bar.
  2. On the panel, click  . A dialog is displayed asking if you want to transfer the vector artwork to the default vector layer.
    • To transfer the layer's artwork before it is deleted, click Yes.
    • To delete the layer and its artwork, click No.
      If you use Ctrl+Z to restore a deleted vector layer to the stack, any artwork transferred to the default layer at the time it was deleted is moved back to the layer on which it was originally drawn.
    • To keep the layer and its artwork, click Cancel.
