Create And Edit Redline Layers
The redline layers of a vault allow users to organize their annotations for faster identification when they redline documents in the Meridian client applications. Each layer can have a different name and color that can be used to distinguish between additions, deletions, moves, departments, priority, or any other designation you want to give them.
Note:
- New vaults are created with one redline layer by default named Exchange. If no other redline layers are created, all redlines will be on this layer.
- The layers you configure in this task are only the default layers that will be available for new documents that are created in Meridian.
- If a document that contains layers other than these layers is imported into the vault, those redlines will be available.
- If you delete a layer from the configuration, it does not delete the layer in any documents that use that layer for redlines.
To create and edit redline layers:
- In Configurator, expand Environment in the configuration tree and select Vault Settings. The vault’s settings appear in property pages in the right pane.
- Click the Redline Layers tab. The current redline layers are shown.
- Click the Edit button to modify the redline layers.
- To delete a redline layer, select the layer in Available redline layers and click Remove.
- To edit a redline layer, select the layer in Available redline layers and select or type options in Layer details.
- To add a redline layer, click Add. The New Redline Layer dialog box appears.
- Type a name for the layer and click OK. A new layer is added to Available redline layers.
- To edit an existing layer, select the layer name in Available redline layers.
- Type an optional description in Description.
-
Select a color for the layer from Default color.
Note:Users can override a layer’s default color by selecting a different color.
