Name convention

As previously said, do not hesitate to use the layers to structure your layout. When a new layer is created, it will be named Layer 1, Layer 2,…

  • Always name explicitly your layers: change the default name Layer 1 and name it for example logo_company or “editable. This way, anyone will instantly know its content.
