Design SuiteSetting the active phase in a design layer

Because object changes are automatically assigned to the active phase, it's essential to ensure you're working in the proper phase as you add, remove, and relocate objects in a drawing. Phase assignments for selected objects can be changed later on the Object Info palette.

To select the active phase:

Do one of the following:

On the View bar, click Active Phase, and select the desired phase from the list.

On the View bar, click the Activate Previous Phase/Activate Next Phase arrows to switch to the phase before or after the active phase.

Select View > Phasing > Next Phase or View > Phasing > Previous Phase to move forward or back in the timeline.

To activate the phase in which a selected object instance was created, removed, or relocated:

Right-click on the object, and select the appropriate command from the context menu. 

Object Phasing > Activate Phase Created

Object Phasing > Activate Phase Removed

Object Phasing > Activate Phase Relocated
