LAYERS


So why does AutoCAD call a set of lines with set characteristics a layer? Adobe CS has layers which are all just bits of the picture that you can change the draw order on but these layers nesicaraly reside in different planes. AutoCAD is a vector-based drawing program based on an X, Y, Z coordinate space, so why is it that in a 2D drawing, all the "layers" share the same plane?

Layers should be stacked like delicious, delicious cake. SOMEONE EXPLAIN THIS TO ME.
