I have tried to set default colors for the layers, but it does not save. Every time I go back and forth between layers, the Line color stays same as the color selected for the last layer used. Any suggestions?

Hi Linda,

Layers in SD7 are substantially similar to AV2007 in that it is a flat structure (no sub-layers) and we do not assign line color etc by layer.

You can use the document's Properties Grid to define default properties for lines, e.g. color, width etc, and this is a document-level setting so if you wish, for example, to define Audio cables as solid blue you can do that in the Line Style section, then put in your Audio cables, then if Video cables are dashed red, set those defaults and put in your Video cables.

I hope this is helpful.

Kind regards,

I would like to make sub-layers within the audio layer. I want to assign a different color to each sub layer: 1. line level 2. mic level 3. speaker level

I have 16 mic level lines to pull to the audia flex.

What is the procedure of making a layer, changing its line width, color and then selecting to use that layer?

I have changed color over in the properties box, but I don't want to have to do that for each individual line. I am used to AV2007 and autocad, and neither of these are informing me on how to use layers in .s07
