Layers are used to distinguish between graphics within a template or drawing. You can create layers in SmartSketch Drawing Editor with the Tools > Layers command.

Objects like drawing views, key plan views, report views, and drawing property labels are placed on the DwgTemplate layer when you save the drawing document. You should not place manual markups on the DwgTemplate layer.

When placing manual markups, such as graphics or company logos, place them in paper space within the drawing layers, not in model space (inside a drawing view). Markups placed within model space are not preserved. When a graphic rule does not specify a layer, intelligent graphics are placed on the Default layer.

Composed Drawings

When you create composed drawings, you can place manual markups on any layer of the drawing.

Volume (Spatial) and Orthographic Drawings by Query Drawings

For volume drawings, manual markups are preserved on any layer of the drawing, except the DwgTemplate layer. The DwgTemplate layer is reserved for system use. If you placed manual markups on the DwgTemplate layer, they will be lost when you update the drawing document.

Isogen Isometric Drawings

If you intend to create manual markups within an Isogen Isometric drawing, place your markups on the Default layer. The software preserves this layers when you update drawings. Other layers are not preserved.

If named layers do not exist in the template, the software creates them using the symbology specified in the style XML file. In Isogen Configuration, use the options in the Drawing Area.Graphics.Layers style group to create new layers within the style XML file. Map definitions to the layers under Drawing Area.Graphics.Definitions.

If the named layers do exist in the template, use Tools > Display Manager in the SmartSketch Drawing Editor to change the symbology used within the template.
