How do I add layers?

RE: Visio

Denise

You can add new layers to organize custom categories of shapes, and then assign shapes to those layers:

On the View menu, click Layer Properties, and then click New.
Type a name for the layer, and then click OK.
In the Layer Properties dialog box, select the check box in each column for properties that you want the layer to have, if they are not already checked.
Notes

When you create a new layer, it is added only to the current page, not to all pages in the file.
Similarly, when you create a new page, that new page does not inherit layers from the previous page. You must define any layers that you want the new page to have.
When you copy a shape with a layer assignment from one page to another, either within the same drawing or from one drawing to another, the layer is added to the new page. If the page already has a layer with the same name, the shape is added to the existing layer.

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.
