This part of IS0 13567 establishes the general principles of layer structuring within CAD files. Layers are used to
control visibility and to manage and communicate CAD file data. Layer names are used to represent this structure.
The principles are applicable to all parties involved in preparing and using technical documentation on computer
systems. Although these principles are primarily for users, CAD system developers are expected to provide
software tools capable of implementing and supporting this part of IS0 13567. An important use is also to structure
data in component libraries produced by third parties.
