Where did layers go in Ver 9??
I just opened an assembly created in Ver 8.2 and when I went to turn on layers that had parts on them that were turned off to hide components I could not find the layers command in the tools menu where I'm sure it was in Ver 8.2? To be sure that I'm not going nuts, I looked in the ver 8.2 manual and sure enough, layers are available in part and assembly modeling, right there on page 208. Page 281 of the ver 8.2 manual explains layers in the drafting mode, that is still available in ver 9, but no mention of layers for part or assemblies in the ver 9 manual.
What's going on. I've been using layers for some time to hide parts in assemblies and for drafting purposes. Are "configurations" intended to replace the layer functionality? This seems to be a loss of functionality from my perspective??
