![]() ![]() If you are using OmniGraffle and not taking advantage of shared layers already I hope this will get you started!Īddendum: I realised after writing this post that Mark Otto had written a great piece on shared layers early last year over at the ZURB blog. Each canvas must have at least one “normal” layer, which I’m calling “Unused” on the “Templates” canvas.To delete all instances of a shared layer right-click on it and select “Delete All Copies of …”.To “hide” a shared layer on a canvas you need to delete it. ![]() The visibility of a shared layer on a canvas depends on whether a copy of it exists on that canvas.You can have any number of shared layers to create groups of common elements, and include only specific ones on a particular canvas.Changing layer settings (visible, printable, locked) affects all instances of a shared layer.Editing any instance of a shared layer will affect all other instances, so it’s a good idea keep it locked most of the time.Here’s how an example wireframe might look with only the shared layer visible (left) and with some page-specific elements overlaid (right): However I find it easier to group all shared layers under one canvas. Strictly speaking you don’t even have to create a specific “Templates” canvas at all – shared layers can reside anywhere in your document. Naming the canvases and layers is up to you, of course. Drag and drop the “Template” shared layer under each canvas where you want the common elements to appear.Rename the new shared layer to “Template” and add any common elements there.Right-click on the new canvas and select “New Shared Layer”.In the “Templates” canvas, rename “Layer 1” to “Unused” and hide it. ![]()
