Currently, everything that we create goes onto what's called a Work Layer and that Work Layer, once it's set, everything goes to it, everything. So we need to separate things out to make sure that we're not overly filling a Layer. Maybe we wanna separate our sketches. Maybe we have additional geometry curves. Maybe there's something in there, additional solids you're using as background, whatever that may be, you wanna make sure you separate the data out.

This is a Work Layer, that's currently set to 100. We go from one to 256. I just happened to have mine set to 100, you may have a different standard where you work. The Move to Layer function allows me to…
