The Auto-Layer command moves Extrusions along the Z-axis so that they do not collide with each other when you cycle the model.

The Auto-Layer command edits by different values the Extrusion-Offset and Part-Offset parameters in Extrusion dialog.

The Auto-Layer command should save you time. However, Auto-Layer is not perfect!

If, after you use Auto-Layer, there are Extrusions that do collide, you must edit manually the Extrusion-Offset and Part-Offset parameters.

Warning: Auto-Layer is not a toggle - the offset distances do not undo if you click Auto-Layer again.

Before you do Auto-Layer, you usually add Auto-Profiles and/or Profiles.

See:

•MD-Solids menu > Auto-Profile (all Parts)

•MD-Solids menu > Auto-Profile (Part)

•MD-Solids menu > Profile

To see MD-Solids in the graphics area:

•Enable Visibility menu > Show Solids in Mechanisms
