- Visibility
Specifies the visibility—default, inherit, visible, or hidden—of newly created layers. Use visible (the default) in most cases.
- Width
Sets the width of your layers created using Insert → Layer (ignored if you draw the layer using the Draw Layer tool in the Objects panel’s Common category).
- Height
Sets the height of the layers created using Insert → Layer (ignored if you draw the layer using the Draw Layer tool in the Objects panel’s Common category).
- Background Color
Sets the default background color for layers.
- Background Image
