Layers keep the contents of a file apart, so individual parts can be shown, hidden or edited on their own.
Contour, grainline, notches and labelling belong on separate layers. Then you can send only the contour to a cutting plotter, or hide the labelling before projecting.

Digitize sewing patterns without tracing.
