Before you do that, however, you can rename the layers on, so that when you duplicate the page and its layers, the names of the layers are duplicated on the other pages as well. You can create multiple pages by duplicating the first page (with all its layers). Remember to create the layers in the correct sequence.įor the calendar project, you will need 12 pages - one for each month of the year. Tip: CorelDRAW creates new layers above the previous layer. Then, create the required number of regular or local layers (in this case, four) by clicking the New Layer button. Objects placed on this master layer will appear on all pages of your design. To create a master layer, click the New Master Layer (all pages) button at the bottom of the Object Manager docker. By default, CorelDRAW starts a new document with one default layer named "Layer 1." After you start a new document, make sure that the Object Manager docker is open (if not, click Window > Dockers > Object Manager).įor the calendar job, I've used two master layers and four local layers. ![]() The first step is to set the page size for the job by starting a new document ( File > New). I prefer to scribble out the job design and the placement of objects on the artwork. The design of a layered document requires some pre-planning before you start a blank CorelDRAW document. I use such a layer to keep the print details and other job information, so that I can refer to them at any time. A layer that is visible but non-printable can be used to keep notes with the file. Remember, a visible layer cannot be printed or exported if printability is disabled, and a non-visible layer can be printed and exported if printability is enabled. Tip: Normally, the visibility and printability should be enabled or disabled together. Enabling the pencil icon lets you select and edit the objects on the layer disabling it locks the objects and prevents them from being selected or edited. Pencil icon - toggles the editability of the layer.Enabling the printer icon lets you print and export the objects on the layer disabling it blocks all objects on that layer from being printed and exported. Printer icon - toggles the printability of the layer.Enabling the eye icon makes the layer objects visible disabling it hides the objects on that layer. Eye icon - indicates the visibility of the layer.The layer property buttons next to the name of each layer let you manage the properties of that layer. You can rename the layers for convenience and to make them more easily identifiable while you work. For example, Layer 2, Layer 3, and so on. The default master layers (Guides, Desktop, and Document Grid) cannot be deleted.īy default, CorelDRAW names the layers sequentially. Delete Layer - deletes the selected layer together with all objects on that layer. ![]() The objects placed on that layer will appear on all even-numbered pages of the document. New Master Layer (even pages) - creates a new master layer on the Master Page. ![]() The objects placed on that layer will appear on all odd-numbered pages of the document.
