Figure 2. Add Action: "Set Layer Visibility" Dialog Box

 

Available layers are detailed in the Available Layers pane. Please note the following:

 

The Use dropdown menu can be used to specify either the use of All Layers in the document, or only the layers presented in the Layers pane.

The Select dropdown menu can be used to Select All layers, Visible layers or Hidden layers, and also to invert the current selection of layers in the dialog box.

When layers are selected in the Available Layers pane, click the lightbulb icons to move them to the Affected Layers pane. Layers that are placed into the Affected Layers pane are the layers that will be affected when the action executes.

Click the activated lightbulb to enable the layer when the action executes.

Click the deactivated lightbulb to disable the layer when the action executes.

Click the semi-activated lightbulb to toggle the layer when the action executes. This means that enabled layers will be disabled, and disabled layers will be activated in the document when the action executes.

Use the State dropdown menu to change the state of layers in the Affected Layers pane. Additionally, the blue arrow icons can be used to move layers up or down in the Affected Layers pane.

Click Remove to remove layers from the Affected Layers pane.

Click Simplify to simplify layer overrides in the Affected Layers pane.

Select the Ignore Radio Button Groups box to ignore radio button groups when this feature is used in conjunction with radio buttons.
