Flattening Layers
The Flatten Artwork command allows you to flatten an entire document into one top-level
layer with sublayers and groups nested within it. After you use the Flatten Artwork com-
mand, all objects remain editable and any appearances on layers are applied to all the ob-
jects in your document.
Flatten Layers in the Layers Panel
Select the
Layers
panel.
Select the top-level layer or a layer within it that you want to use as a new main
layer for the document.
Click the
Options
menu, and then click
Flatten Artwork
.
If any of the layers are hidden, an alert appears, asking if you want to discard the
hidden layers.
