Setting vector layer properties

General vector layer properties define how the layer is displayed on screen.

To set up general vector layer properties:
1. Right-click a vector layer in the Maps tree and click Properties.
2. In the Vector Layer Properties window, click the General tab.
3. In the Description field, enter a description of the layer.
4. Enable or disable any of the following check boxes:
  - Read Only: enabling this option prevents the vector layer from being changed.
  - Visible: enabling this option makes the layer visible in the view pane.
5. Enter a value that represents the layer priority in the Priority box. Layer priority may cause one layer to mask another in the Maps tree. If you cannot see a layer in your map, check the layer priority. Changing layer priority is necessary to present a vector layer over a raster layer or a bitmap layer.
6. Click OK.
  You can save a vector layer as part of a .pix file that contains your work or as part of a project file.
To save a vector layer:
1. In the Maps tree, right-click a layer and click Save.
2. In the New Layer Detected window, choose the Output File, the file format and, if applicable, the channels you want to save.
3. Click Save.
