Layer Thumbnail: Each layer has a thumbnail showing the shapes assigned to that layer. Click on that
thumbnail and all shapes on that layer will be selected. If you wish to add the shapes from another layer to
the section, hold the Shift key and click on the other thumbnail.
Layer Type: To the right of the Layer Thumbnail is the Layer Type, represented by one of four different
icons:
Regular shape

Regular folder of individual shapes: When the folder is opened, by clicking the gray triangle, the
icon changes and all layers or subfolders within are displayed.
Group folder where one or more of the shapes have been grouped together: When the folder is
opened, by clicking the gray triangle, the icon changes and all layers or subfolders within are
displayed.
