More so in AC22 (with new editing abilities to Layers and Layer Combinations).

Can change those in the Layers panel, but that won't change a layer combination.<BR /> <BR /> It is great for importing layer combinations from other projects / attribute files though!

In AC22, with the combined Layers / Layer Combination page, you can select a Layer Combination and the Layers change to match, which can then be modified. In AC21, between the two pages, I cannot find any way to select a Layer Combination to modify on the Layers page. The Layers page stays as which ever Layer Combination was active when the Attribute Manager was opened and the active Layer Combination becomes "Custom" when modifications are applied.<BR /> <BR /> <BR /> <BR /> Ling.
