XPert Layers provides an easy way to work with
QuarkXPress items by letting you locate, select, and
modify items by layer.
Now Supports QuarkXPress 6's multiple undo/redo.

One of the most powerful features in the XPert Layers
XTension is its ability to let you work with items in
groups, called "viewgroups." Viewgroups let you work
with sets of QuarkXPress items that you've selected.
Once items are in a group, you can use XPert Layers to
shuffle all the items in the group up or down the
stacking order together. You can also select or
deselect all the items in a group, delete all the items
in a group, lock groups of items, and show or hide all
the items in a group. Hidden items don't display
on-screen or print.

The ability to hide and show viewgroups can be
particularly useful. For example, you can speed the
on-screen redraw of a page by hiding the slower-drawing
elements. To do this, you would put draw-intensive
items into the same viewgroup with other slow drawing
items, then click in the XPert Layers palette to hide
the group. You could also use this feature to make it
easier to produce multiversion publications.
