a large piece of clear
plastic, as infinitely large as
the drawing area in
AutoCAD. When drawing in
AutoCAD, everything is
drawn on the default layer
which is set current. Only
the objects you are drawing
are visible on the layer, the
layer itself can never be
seen - it is invisible. Each
new layer is created by you,

the user.

are controlled. The layout above shows a typical use
