Creating and Editing a Graphic

73

To show or hide the Layers panel choose Window > 
Layers. The Layers panel displays the current state of all 
layers in the current frame of a document.

Use the Options pop-up to add, duplicate, rename, 
remove, hide or show, lock or unlock, and share layers. 
Check Single Layer Editing to restrict editing to the 
current layer.

Use the Current Frame pop-up to navigate among 
frames. Alternatively, use the frame controls on the 
bottom of the document window to navigate among 
frames.

Hiding a layer hides all objects on that layer, but does 
not remove them from the document. A hidden layer 
cannot be an active layer. Showing a layer shows all 
objects on that layer.

To hide all selected objects, select them and then choose 
View > Hide Selection. Hide Selection does not hide 
guides. Hidden objects remain hidden when the 
document is closed and reopened.

To show all hidden objects, choose View > Show All.

The Web Layer is a special layer that appears at the top 
of every new document. The Web Layer contains web 
objects used for assigning interactivity to exported 
Fireworks documents.

The Web Layer may be moved in the Layers panel, but 
it may not be deleted. Moving a path object to the Web 
Layer creates a hotspot in the shape of that object. The 
Web Layer is always shared across all frames.

Set a layer so that it is shared across all the frames in the 
document in either of two ways:

◆

Double-click a layer, and then in the Layer Options 
dialog box check Share Across Frames. 

◆

Select a layer you want to share, then check Share 
Layer on the Options pop-up of the Layers panel.
