Adobe illustrator 10 Manuale Utente

Deleting a layer also deletes all artwork that is in the layer. For example, if you delete a 
layer that contains sublayers, groups, paths, and clipping sets, all those elements will be 
deleted along with the layer.

1 Select an item in the Layers palette. 

2 Do one of the following:

Click the Trash button   in the Layers palette, or drag the item onto the Trash button.

Choose Delete “Layer name” from the Layers palette menu.

By default, Illustrator assigns different colors to selection marks on each layer and to the 
corresponding layer color square in the Layers palette. You can change this layer color 
setting to better suit your needs. 

You can switch the view mode of the artwork in a layer—between Preview view and 
Outline view—to display some items as outlines and other items as they will appear in the 
final artwork. (See 

.) You also can dim bitmap 

images to make it easier to edit artwork on top of the image. This is especially useful when 
tracing a bitmap image.
