This is relatively easy to do with a bit of code IF every shape is on exactly one layer. It gets more complicated if shapes are on multiple layers. That's because all of the layers on which a shape resides must be set the same way for the shape to appear/disappear or print. As an example, in the diagram below, the A shapes are on a layer called A, the B shapes on layer B, etc. However, all of the 2-D shapes are also on the Flowchart layer.<a href="https://filedb.experts-exchange.com/incoming/2017/09_w37/1193537/Visio-layers.png" target="_blank" title="layers (21 KB)"><img alt="layers" class="file-block lazyload" style="max-width: 800px;" data-src="https://filedb.experts-exchange.com/incoming/2017/09_w37/800_1193537/Visio-layers.png" /></a>Even though layer A is set to be invisible, you still see the A shapes because of the Flowchart layer setting.<br />

Is each of your shapes on exactly one layer?

Is each of your shapes on exactly one layer?

<div>
I one shape can never on many kayets and each layer has between 50 and 100 shapes on it<br />
<br />
What I need to do is the following<br />
For each layer<br />
Set the print flag for that layer<br />
Execute a print command <br />
Under the print flag for that layer<br />
End loop

Hi<br />
<br />
I have a Visio drawing with 40+ layers. I want to be able to print each of the layers on the active page independently [ and automatically]. Can anyone suggest how I can do this?<br />
<br />
Thanks in advance
