Manual Surfcam

The document discusses how to organize a workspace using layers in a drawing program. It describes how to create a new layer called "Dimensions", move dimension objects to that layer, hide the "Dimensions" layer to hide the dimensions, and then show the "Dimensions" layer to view the dimensions again. The process allows the user to selectively hide or show different elements by layer to focus on specific tasks in complex drawings.
