Create and manage structural elements of the drawing using the Organization dialog box. This dialog box has specialized functions to sort and select its list items; see List Box Functionality.
To use the Organization dialog box:
Select Tools > Organization. Alternatively, click the Classes or Layers button from the View bar, or select Edit View from the Saved Views menu on the View bar.
The Organization dialog box opens.
Select the appropriate tab for the element to be created or edited: Classes, Design Layers, Sheet Layers, Viewports, Saved Views, or References.
In the Vectorworks Architect product, an additional Stories tab is available; see Creating and Managing Stories.
From the top of the dialog box, select either Details or Visibilities view.
Generally, the Details view shows the current settings for each element, and enables editing of layer and class visibilities in the drawing area; the Visibilities view enables editing of layer and class visibilities in viewports and in saved views (see Visibility Columns).
Buttons at the bottom of each tab provide creation and management functions. Alternatively, right-click on a list item to display a context menu, which has most of the same functions as the tab buttons.
