The Layer Tool

Click the Layers Tool to open up its properties.

The layers are organised into two groups:-

• Route Layers in the top section, and
• Session Layers in the lower section.

With the Layer Tools (Add, Delete, Merge and Lock) below them.

Each section contain multiples layers - the scroll bars next to the layers indicate that there are more layers in each section.

The layers you will see will depend on whether you have loaded into Surveyor a Route by itself (with no "child" Session) or a Session and its "parent" Route.

The image on the left shows the layers that will appear if the route only is loaded into Surveyor. Note that a default Session Layer is present. This layer may be empty. The image on the right shows the layers that will appear if a session based on that route is loaded into Surveyor. In both cases, the Route Layers are identical because the same route has been loaded. The session contains additional layers, the Session Layers, that are not saved with the route.
