What are Layers?

What are Layers? Layers are like transparent sheets, placed one on the top of another.

There are three layers to every Draw file.
Point to the Layout Layer tab at the bottom.

Circle the Draw page once from top to bottom.

The Layout layer is displayed by default.

This is where we create most of our graphics.

Click on the Control Layer. The Control layer is used to store control elements such as buttons and forms.
Click on the Dimensions Layer. The Dimensions layer is used to depict
  • dimension lines or
  • measurement lines

for complex drawings.

Display the drawing of house on a slide and
point to the appropriate parts as per the narration 		For example, a drawing of a house must contain exact measurements of walls, positions of electrical wiring and so on.
Point to the House and then the School Let’s print three maps that show the route from the House to the School.
Let’s call them Map 1, Map 2 and Map 3.

In Map 3, let’s show all the objects except the Park.
Do we need to create three separate maps to show these?

No, Draw provides a solution to this with the help of Layers.

Assignment

Pause this tutorial and do this assignment.


Create two routes from Home to the School Campus in the RouteMap drawing.


Create each route

  • on a separate layer
  • so that they can be printed
  • as two different maps
  • each displaying only one route.
Let us now learn how to export the file as a PDF and also password protect our Draw file.
Switch to the file “Route Map”.

Main menu >> File >> Export to PDF

First let’s save the Draw file “RouteMap” as a PDF.

From the main menu, select File and click “Export as PDF”.

PDF options dialog box appears. The PDF dialog box appears.
PDF options dialog box. First, let us set the “General” options.
Click General Click the “General” Tab.
Select Range >> select All Under “Range”, let us select “All” as we are converting all the pages in the Draw file to PDF.
Images >> select “JPEG compression” Under “Images”, we shall select “JPEG compression”.

This is the most common format that is used for compression.

PDF options dialog box >> Click “Initial View” Next, click the Initial View tab.
Point downwards in the dialog box to the various default settings. We will keep the default values displayed in the dialog box.
In PDF options dialog box >> Click “Links”. Now, click on the Links tab.
We may have inserted links in the Draw file.

Again, let’s keep the default values set for Links.

In PDF options dialog box >> Click “Security” tab. Now, let’s assign a password to protect the PDF document.


To do so, click on the “Security” tab.

Click Set Open Passwords. Click on the Set open password button.


The Set open password dialog box appears.

In the field “Set open Password”, type the password “ProtectAgain0”. In the field “Password”, type any password with which you want to protect your file.


I will set my password as “Protect101”.

In the field “Confirm”, reenter the password “Protect101”.

Click OK.

In the field “Confirm”, I will re-type my password “Protect101”.


Click OK.

Next, let’s set the permission password to print or modify the document.
Click Set permission password. Click on the Set permission password button.
In the field “Permission Password”, type the password “ProtectAgain0”. In the field “Password”, type the password of your choice.

I will type “ProtectAgain0”.

In the field “Confirm”, reenter the password “ProtectAgain0”.

Click OK.

In the field “Confirm”, I will retype the password “ProtectAgain0”.


And click OK.

Point to the permissions for Printing and Changes that are now active (below the Set permission password button). Notice that permissions for Printing and Changes are active now.

Setting Passwords

It is always a good practice

  • To set passwords
  • With a minimum of six characters
  • Including numbers and special characters.
Point to Under Printing >> “Not Permitted”. Under “Printing”, select the option “Not Permitted”.
The PDF can be printed only if the correct password is provided.

Else it cannot be printed.

Point to Under Changes >> “Not Permitted”. Under “Changes” select the option “Not Permitted”.


The PDF can be edited only if the correct password is provided.

Under File type click PDF - Portable Document Format >> Click on Save. Under File type, click PDF - Portable Document Format.

And click on the Save button.

The Draw file is converted to a PDF file and saved on the Desktop.

On the Desktop, double-click on the RouteMap PDF file. On the Desktop, double-click on the RouteMap PDF file.
The Enter password dialog box opens.
In the Password field, type Protect111. >> Click on the Unlock Document button. In the Password field, let's type the wrong password Protect111.
