Displaying Layers with the Light Table

As you create your drawings, you may want to focus on drawings on a specific layer, but still see drawings from other layers in your panel so you can figure out how all the drawings look in relation to each other. For example, if one character is grabbing something from another, you will need to see all of the drawings together to get a sense of how to position the characters’ hands.

You can do this by using the light table feature. The light table displays a semi-transparent version of all layers in a panel, except for the layer that is currently selected.

To activate the Light Table:

Do one of the following:

Select View > Auto Light Table to turn on the light table.

In the Layer Toolbar, click the Auto Light Table

button.

You can select the tab of the layer with the drawings you want to view. To turn off the light table, select the command again.
