Working
Name the Working Layer for Laying Out and Defining Your Section Planes
The Working option to allocate a working layer when designing the layout of your section planes. All section line objects designed using the Define option, will be created in this layer.
Note: Neither the Working nor the Define options are essential to the creation of dragline section arrows. The two options work together and may provide a useful tool to aid you in the laying out of your section planes. For actually creating the dragline section arrows, refer to the Create option.
Instructions
On the Dragline menu, point to Sections, and then click Working to display the Layer panel.
If a Dragline specifications file (.rsp) was not opened prior to selecting this option, then the Open Dragline Specification panel displays first.
