Layer Menu
The “Layer” menu is used to manipulate the various measurement and annotaon layers available for use with
a captured image. Layers allow a user to non-destrucvely create overlays, measurements, and annotaons on
an image, with the ability to hide them if desired, and recall them later. Without using layers, anything placed
directly on the image would become a permanent xture of the image, and thus, one would have to start over
if needing to make modicaons. Note that a visual representaon of the layers in an image can be found at
the boom of the le navigaon bar, in a tab named “Layer”.
New... - The “New...” funcon creates a new layer in the image and allows the user to input a name for it.
Remove... - This menu funcon will delete the currently visible layer.
Current... - The “Current...” funcon brings up a drop down menu allowing the user to select which layer they
wish to have acve.
Show/Hide... - This allows a user to make a layer appear or disappear in the total image view, without deleng
it.
Rename... - Allows a user to modify the layer name of a previously created layer.
Export to Image - Exports the current layer to a new image of its own, useful for later recall if needed.
Export to Microso Excel - Exports the current layer’s data to a Microso Excel sheet.
