Set the layer/level that the design symbols will be drawn on in the following ways:

• Click Current Layer/Level to have the elements drawn on the CAD platform’s current layer/level.
• Click Layer/Level, and then select the layer/level in the Layer/Level box to have the elements drawn on an existing layer/level.
• Click Individual Layers/Levels to specify layers/levels for each element of the roundabout in each category.

Design Symbols Draw Options Section

Lock Layer

Locks the layer/level on which the design symbols are drawn. Since deleting a design symbol, dropping its complex status in MicroStation, or exploding the block in AutoCAD results in a loss of the data associated with the corresponding roundabout design, the layer/level on which the design symbols are drawn is locked by default. To unlock the layer/level, clear the Lock Layer check box.

Note: If, under Draw Design Symbols On, you have set the current layer/level to be used for the design symbols, the Lock Layer check box will be unavailable.
