This palette shows all the layers and figures that have been
placed on an EER diagram. If a layer or figure is currently
selected, an X appears beside the name of the
object and its properties are displayed in the
Properties palette. This can be especially
useful in determining which objects are selected when you have
selected multiple objects using the various options under the
menu option. For more information on
this topic see Section 16.6.5.1.2, “The Edit Menu”.
Selecting an object in the Layers palette also
adjusts the view port to the area of the canvas where the object
is located.
In some circumstances you may want to make an object on an EER
diagram invisible. To do this, select the object and, in the
Properties palette, set the
visible property to False.
The Layer palette provides an easy way to
locate an object, such as a relationship, that has been set to
hidden. Open the Layers
palette and select the object by double-clicking it. You can
then edit the object and change its visibility setting to
Fully Visible.
