Understanding Views
A view is a particular configuration of the Views & Layers panel. For example, you are working on a complex graphic with four layers. Layers one and two are a schematic for wiring, while layers three and four are a structural schematic. Using views, you can set up one view to display only layers one and two, and a second view to display only layers three and four. A view does not exclude any layers. It merely holds the configuration of the indicators for the Views & Layers panel.
