Idea: In layers panel be able to name individual groups

I have many "groups" on many of the pages that I develop, so often it is much more work than it needs to be because the layers panel calls each group with the name group, but I cannot individuate them.
Thanks

Hi Nanda,
normally you would model such access restrictions for Target Groups using the usage of the Target Group. The usage is part of the authorization object CRM_SEGTYP and so you can define which user role is allowed to see/use which usages and so which Target Groups.
Hope that helps

Layer name / Layers Panel tool icons disappear

The 'Template' checkbox gets activated in Layer Options dialog box, and the box gets closed, then, the Layer name and several icons at the bottom of the Layer Panel disappear.
The Layer is still there without a name, and rolling over the icons on the Layers Panel I can see the Tool Icons.
Illustrator Prefs were trashed/restored using the Opt-Shift-Command restart shortcut.
Does anybody have any ideas?

Suitcase Fusion 4 ... 10.0.5 (515)
Wacom Tablet Intuos 4... v6.3.5-3

This happened to me out of the blue and after many hair pulling days, I figured out that if you set one of your layers to "not print" (by un-checking the print box in layer options) all of the text and icons disappear off every layer below that non-printing layer. So find the non-printing layer, click on it, go to the drop down menu at the top right of the layers palette, choose Options for layer, and check the "print" box. All of your layers should now look normal.
I also read something about making sure the Verdana Italic font was active in your system fonts which mine was so that suggestion didn't help me. Good luck.

Set pageitem name in layers panel

Can someone tell me how to set the name
of a pageItem in the Layers panel in CS5?
Kind regards,
Michel

I solved it.
I did this:
var lib = app.libraries.item("tabellen.indl");
var asset_ = lib.assets.item("tabel1");
tabel1 = asset_.placeAsset(app.activeDocument);
tabel1.name = "table1";
But it seems that tabel1 is a bad reference to the object.

Where is the Layers palette with DIV custom names?

Hello!
Where is the Layers palette with DIV custom names and Z orders? Wy in last update we don't have one?
I think in Ideas area many people request this feature.
Thanks

The default location for the Layers panel is in the lower right of the Editor (while in Full Edit mode).
If you don't see it, it may have been hidden or minimized. Try going to the Window menu at the top and select Layers from the list. This should unhide or maximize the panel.

Layers panel falls of screen - unable to grab to shrink

Can anyone help? using CS3 illustrator - my layers panel is too long for the screen - i am only able to shrink to the title bar or grab the sides to reduce the width of the panel. i cannot reduce the height of the panel as the bottom falls off the screen, even if i move it up as far as it will go.
I need to get to the bottom of this layers panel - any ideas on how to shrink it if you cant actually get to it?!?

Karen,
You may:
1. Close Illy;
2. Open the aiprefs file with Notepad or something similar, not Worst; it should be in the Adobe Illustrator CS3 Settings folder, search for hidden files and folders;
3. In the aiprefs file Ctrl+F Find AdobeLayerPalette;
4. Change the size to something smaller and save the changes;
5. Open Illy and reset the size.
Or you may increase the screen resolution, reset the Layers Palette size and decrease the resolution, size possibly destroying your Desktop structure in the process.
Or?

My photos are not showing up as layers in the layers panel, only as one layer, so I can't make any changes to the layers. Does anyone know why this is happening? Am I downloading them from my camera wrong?

Am I downloading them from my camera wrong? I have watched the video and the photos don't open that way on my layers panel. Any help would be appreciated, I would like to edit out the background and turn it a different color.

Photos from cameras or scans have only one layer (the 'background' layer).
You can start with that 'background' layer and duplicate it or add other layers in the editing process. For instance you can make a selection of a subject and put it on another layer; a common use is to desaturate the 'background' and to keep the color in the selected subject in your newly created layer.

I am unable to add a pattern via the layers panel

Help please! All of the sudden the "add/fill a pattern" via the layers panel on the right hand side is no longer available to me... that option is grayed out and won't let me select. I can still "fill" a pattern from the top menu's pull down menu, but that does not let me change scale, etc.
this is a vital tool to me, and I have no idea why it just stopped working.
Thanks!!!

Glad that your issue resolved itself. But, it sounds like your program is Photoshop Elements and not Premiere Elements. Some how your thread got posted in the Premiere Elements Forum (video editing).
If the problem should reoccur, please post your thread in the Photoshop Elements Forum.
Photoshop Elements

Layer(s) not showing up on top of background, only in layers panel...

Hello All, Any help here would be great....briefly, PSE worked just great before, I'm on my newer MacBook Air, well within system requirements for PSE. Maverick OS. Started working with PSE and when I tried to "stamp" a brush shape (whether default brushes or otherwise), the program does something it had never done before....SEE ATTACHED. I will create a new layer to use my brush, but when I try to "stamp" it onto background, the program then creates a layer mask where I can see the brush shape AND a new layer, however ALL that shows up on the background is the icon you can see in my screen grab I am attaching here. What is this icon? (The teeny one middle right of image, black square, outlined in red, with two red circles in the middle) I called Apple, we did a few things, they said it wasn't on there end. I reset my tools, I uninstalled, reinstalled, to no avail. Last night, I called Adobe, spent 48 minutes on the phone with a guy only to be told that he wasn't "trained" in how to fix this issue and his superior would call me back within an hour. Never got that phone call, so I'm hoping (praying, begging) someone out there will have an idea of WHAT this icon is, as well as how to fix this issue. Again, I've reset all tools, the "eye" icon on layers panel shows it should be visible, I've tried layers-->merge visible, I've uninstalled and reinstalled, and called adobe newbie who didn't know even what the icon meant. Any takers?!?! See below.....

Because the mask image is the same as the background, the leaves you are painting are essentially the the identical pixels to those underneath. Fill the top layer image with a solid colour and your leaves will show.
You can right-click the little red box to get to a settings dialog.
Cheers,
Neale

How do I search for a string in the Text tab of the Layers panel

I have a world map with a text layer for country names. I hide the country names as needed by clicking on the 'eye' icon for Toggle Visibility in the Layers panel. I've inadvertently hidden one name and I need to know how to find it in the Text panel so I can make it visible again. How do I seatrch for a name in the Text panel?

Just in case there is an unlocked and visible object close to the hidden one in the stacking order, you may select that object right on the artboard and then go to the Layers palette menu and take the Locate Object command.
Of course, this would be just one possible workaround to locate the hidden objects a bit easier.

Acrobat Pro: Layers Panel messed up. How to resize?

Hi,
I'm using Acrobat 9 Pro. My layers panel doesn't appear normally. As you can see, the visibility icon doesn't line up with the layer, and the boxes are expanded. I can't seem to resize them. I've uninstalled the software and reinstalled. It didn't fix anything. Any ideas?

I have Acrobat Pro 9.5.5, the last release of it. Moving the mouse over the right side of the window does let me reside the pane width, but that isn't what I want to do. I want to resize it vertically to look like the image below, how it's supposed to look.

Illustrator CC Layers panel

Hi, I just updated my illustrator to CC and am unable to get into my layers panel. It shows up and shows how many layers there are but I can't figure out how to actually get in and edit the layers. I feel like this is probably a simple fix but I can't figure out whats wrong!! It's extremely frustrating not being able to work with layers so any advice would be greatly appreciated!!

Thank you!! It showed up, knew it would be something simple!

Layers Panel , Photoshop Elements and Windows 7

Anybody got any ideas on how to open the layers panel in photo editor?. When either using "window/layer or F11 all I get is a blank page on the right of the picture, not like the one shown on page 331 on the downloaded manual. I have only recently purchased to program, so I am new to it.

First, you do have an image open when you do this? Assuming yes try using the 'More' button at the very bottom right of the Editor screen and select 'Custom Workspace'. That should bring up the customisable multi-tabbed view. If it does and you like it, keep it. Otherwise click 'More' again and select 'Basic Workspace'. Hopefully this will reset the any display problem you may have. If not use Edit> Preferences> General> Reset Preferences on Next Launch and restart PSE.

Neale

Problem getting layers panel to show.

I cannot get the layers panel to show even though it is checked. Using CC 2014, OS 10.10.1 Affects all my Illustrator files.

The layers panel miraculously reappeared in all files. I have no idea where it was lurking while I was having the problem. I tried everything. But I seem to be out of trouble for now.
I have quite a few small unexplainable problems with my latest version of Illustrator and operating system. I don’t think they had their pencils quite sharp enough when they designed it all.
thank you for your interest and suggestions.
kind regards,

Why does the layers panel in ID CS6 affect or override Articles Panel and reading order?

In InDesign CS6 we arrange the order of content using the Articles panel and we expect that the reading order of the exported PDF will match what's in the Articles panel. In reality, we come to find that the layers panel in InDesign adversely affects the reading order. It completely ignores the articles panel which is counter to the purpose. Anyway, I've found that the reading order in the pdf ends up being the reverse order of what is in the InDesign documents layers panel. In terms of Accessibility, this is a problem and requires manual re-organization of the reading order. The Articles panel in InDesign was supposed to alleviate this process. Any ideas?
