Show / Hide all layers

[Theresa J]

Is there a way in Draw to show or hide all layers except for the selected layer you are working on? This would save me so much time, especially when my drawing starts to fill up with many layers.

Thanks for any tips you can offer.

If you tap the Layers icon (the three stacked squares) in the upper nav of an open drawing that will hide all your layers. And although that "hide" will include the layer you're working on, it's still your "active" layer so you'll be able to draw on it.

Does that help?

I know about that one. I didn't mean to hide the layers 'panel', I meant to hide the visibility of the layers other than the one I am working on. I want to do this quickly. Right now I have to double tap on every layer one at a time to turn them off. Then I have to go back through my layers double tapping on them to turn them back on.

Does that make sense now?

Yep. Totally makes sense. No. There's no way to hide all of the layers at once. I'll share the idea with the team though as a feature request. It's a good one for people who work with a lot of layers.

Yeah, how is that going?  Five years later.

I upvote this and/or the option to select multiple layers with shift+ select or ctrl+ select instead of each individual layer. Working with PDF's created in AutoCad will have hundreds of layers.

Sue,

is there any progress on that matter?

Hi Nazugum.

Since we're focusing on Adobe Fresco now we will no longer be adding new features to either Draw or Sketch.
