How to Use Drawing Layer Actions
Step 1. Open Drawing Layer Actions
Tap the Layer Actions button (3-dots) on any drawing layer to open your drawing layer actions panel.
Step 2. Set Your Layer Appearance
Use these actions to adjust the appearance of your layer and the drawings on it.
Layer Title
Tap the layer title to change the title of your layer.
Paper Opacity
Adjust this slider to change the opacity for your layer.
Drawing Opacity
Adjust this slider to change the opacity of all the lines on your layer.
Layer Color
Tap any color to set your layer color.
Paper Blending
Just like in photo editing apps, you can change the blending mode of your layers. Choose between Normal, Darken, Multiply, Color Burn, Linear Burn, and Darker Color.
Pro Tip
Multiply is the most popular option. If you draw your lines on the base layer and add fills on a separate layer above, you can set your fill layer to Multiply and your black linework will still be visible, even if the fill overlaps on top of it.
Step 3. Adjust Your Layer
Use these tools to adjust your layers.
Scale & Place
Tap this button and then use a one-finger pan to move a layer without rotating it or use a two-finger pinch to move, rotate, and scale your layer.
Clear
Delete all drawings from the layer. This action can be undone and redone.
Delete
Permanently delete the layer. Caution: this action CANNOT be reversed.
Copy
Copy a layer from one project to another.
Duplicate
Create a new layer that is an exact copy of the current layer selected.
Translation Lock
Lock your layer in place to avoid accidentally moving it with the three-finger drag gesture.
Mirror Horizontal & Vertical
Flip your layer.
Disable AR Extrusion
Disable the drawing from being extruded while using AR SketchWalk.
