All CorelDRAW drawings consist of stacked objects. The vertical order of these objects — the stacking order — contributes to the appearance of the drawing. You can organize these objects by using invisible planes called layers.

Drawings can be assembled by placing objects on various levels or layers. Layering lets you change foregrounds and backgrounds independently.

Layering gives you added flexibility when you organize and edit the objects in complex drawings. You can divide a drawing into multiple layers, each containing



  a portion of the drawing’s contents. For example, using layers can help you organize an architectural plan for a building. You can organize the building’s various components (for example, plumbing, electrical, structural) by placing them on separate layers. You can choose to display only layers or only pages.

Each new file has one master page, which contains and controls three default layers: the Grid, Guides, and Desktop layers. The Grid, Guides, and Desktop layers contain the grid, guidelines, and objects outside the borders of the drawing page. The Desktop layer lets you create drawings that you can use later. You can specify settings for the grid and guidelines on the master page. You can also specify settings (such as color) for each layer on the master page and display selected objects.

You can add one or more master layers to a master page. This layer contains information that you want to display on every page of a multipage document. For example, you can use a master layer to place a header, footer, or static background on every page.
