How can layers be used in visio

RE: Are there any layers in visio?

Runa

Thanks for your question.

A layer is a method of grouping similar items together. Layers let you simultaneously change the visibility, printability, line color, and line width of all shapes located on the same layer. Layers are a good way to organize drawings, because the same drawing can be used for different disciplines, each using their own set of layers, and each being able to see the others. For example, the lighting engineer can see the ventilation outlets in a reflected ceiling plan, but they can also be printed and viewed separately. Moreover, the line colour of items on a layer can be changed to identify them more easily.

Visio has the ability to have a shape assigned to more than one layer. This can be useful, for example, when your diagram has a Partition layer, and you want some shapes on the To Be Removed layer and some on the New Layer.

I hope this answers your question

Visio tip:

Using the Quick Access Toolbar in Visio 2010

The Quick Access Toolbar is included in virtually every Office product, including Visio 2010 as well as Outlook 2010, Word 2010, Excel 2010, and PowerPoint 2010.

You will find the Quick Access Toolbar in the top-left side of the window. To begin, click the Customize button (it's the little black arrow at the end of the toolbar).

Simply click the commands you want to include.

Virtually any command can be added to the Quick Access Toolbar. Click the More Commands option and a new window will open from where you can browse the commands including those not on the ribbon.
