Re: Visio should have better layer system to hide different shapes

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry

Could you provide more information about this suggestion? I'm wondering how
this is done through AutoCAD. It's been a while since I've used layers in
that application. It sounds like you are making some layers invisible and
other layers visible. Is there more sophisticated behavior going on?
