Positioning your objects using layers

Layers help you position label or form objects on the z-axis. This means that you can place your objects on top or beneath the objects on other layers. If you change the stacking order of layers, you also change the stacking order of objects.

Note

When designing labels or forms, the stacking order of layers tells you the vertical position of each individual layer within all existing layers.

By default, you add all objects on a single layer. If you decide to add more layers, you can move your objects onto newly added layers, or move objects from one layer to another at any time.

To add objects to a specific layer, click the layer in the Layers panel to make the layer active, and drag the objects onto the currently active layer.

Note

You can only group the objects that belong to the same layer. To group objects from multiple layers, move these objects onto the same layer first.
