multiple layers


Explanation:
Coming from a Photoshop background, not CAD, I would say that this is referring to CAD drawings that have multiple layers.
Both 葉 and 枚 are counter-words for leaves/flat objects/pieces of paper, etc.
* 葉 【は】 (n) leaf; (P); 【よう】 ; (suf,ctr) (1) counter for leaves, pieces of paper, etc.; (2) (arch) counter for boats; ED
* 枚 【まい】 (ctr) counter for flat objects (e.g. sheets of paper); (P); 片(ateji); 枚(ateji) 【びら; ビラ】 ; (n) (uk) bill; handbill; flier; leaflet; poster; placard; ED

In this case 葉 is acting as the counter word and 枚 is referring to the layer I would say... The following link discusses the function of CAD layers if you are interested.
