Anyone had any success with this? I found they don't show up on the pages they should. Was it something fixed in a service pack? Thanks.
Can you explain a little more? Odd and even pages are supposed to use with "facing pages" option enabled, not for single pages
As far as I can see, they work as expected -- with or without facing pages. For example:
In the above, red is on odd master, green is on even master and yellow is all pages.
If a layer does not show up, consider that master layers always default to the back -- so if you have solid backgrounds on individual pages, the master layers will be hidden. If that is the problem, you will need to go to Layer Manager view (third icon in the object manager), select "current page layers only" and move the page layer behind the master pages. You need to do this once for every page that is affected. It is also possible in that view to turn off master pages on individual layers.
I tested this in X6.4 and it is possible there may have been some problems in earlier releases, so try the attached in your version.
Thanks Harry, the document works. My problem was with adding layers to an existing document with multiple pages. But I've figured out that I'm not going to use them. I almost exclusively use layer view and expect to see every layer on every page. It's how I've always worked. I just find these odd/even master pages more trouble than they are worth.
That is the issue since it has changed from X4. It has become difficult to manage file with complex layers. Either you need to pre-plan the job well or not use layers. Once you have multiple pages opened and composed, you really cannot handle adding, deleting or moving layers easily.

Yes, I ended up making my own layers docker to address some of the issues caused by Corel changing the layer paradigm - they did it really badly.
