9.3.4 Multiple copies from the layers tab
The Copies to Plot and Seconds of delay between copies parameters in the Plot
tab do apply when you plot from the Layers tab. That means that you can plot the
same layer or set of layers multiple times, in the same fashion as plotting multiple
copies from the Plot tab. (See §9.1 Plotting the document, on page 36).
9.3.5 Additional layer control features
Beyond control with the Layers tab, there are additional commands and parame-
ters that can be specified through the layer name.
You can use properly formatted codes to specify the pen-down height and the
speed for printing specific layers. There are also special codes that can introduce
a timed delay while plotting or force a programmatic pause (as though you had
pressed the pause button to halt a plot). These types of codes are rarely used in
everyday plotting, but can be useful in developing specialized applications.
One additional, and particularly useful, feature is that any layer with a name start-
ing with a percentage sign “%” is designated as a documentation layer, and will
not be plotted.
The Layer Control features are always active, and can be used (for example)
whether you are plotting from the Plot or Layers tab of AxiDraw Control.
