Hi there, guys. In today's video, we'll have a quick intro to the latest properties panel in vinyl cuts. It's a quick intro here. Mm. Uh, so just a reminder. This video and more videos like this can be found on softwaretraining.co.za d a. We upload content daily so you can keep an eye there for any new content. Otherwise, back in the programme here. Now, um, the latest panel first in order to locate it or be on the right here. Okay, there's three little papers if you select that or pop up your layers properties panel. Now, layers are pretty much any shape or text or anything you put on the canvas. Um, it will appear here on your layers panel. Then you can also rename it to keep more. And I took, uh, keep a good workflow and know what it was that you had. Especially if you can see in a big project like this, it gets quite messy to remember what it was. Can get tricky now. Yeah, So in any case, if we just have a quick overview yeah, we've got the I in the lock icon will be covering most of this in another tutorial. So this is really just the intro to what has been obvious. And then the bottom. Here we've got the folder and been icon and then on top here on the top, right. We also have a little icon. You can click with more options. Also, any layer, if you double click it, it will pop you up some more options. You can sit and then you can also see, like a good practise, especially with layers. And if you're working in big teams or big projects is to name it appropriately and put it in sub folders and so forth. So if we just go to a new project, yeah, that's already been sorted. You will see now the Layers panel is way more manageable. It's not such a mess. So if you know you're looking for something from the background, you can just go. You open the folder and select the right layers. So they are all still there. All the layers there just now unfold us some flowers or the king of the hill. You can do the same. Yeah, so that's just the interest to the layers. I hope we see you guys in the next tutorial video, we start going into more depth about the layers. Otherwise, we added to the website.
