Logical layers associated with the selected physical layer are also selected. When you make changes to a selected physical layer, the logical layers associated with it are also affected.

Select one or multiple logical layers from the Logical Layers section. To select multiple logical layers, press the Shift or Control key while selecting.

Click one of the following buttons:

Click Bring to Front
