Ability to Lock/Unlock specific class or layer

[SDG]

this would allow you easily and quickly keep a class or layer visible, but uneditable. setting this as a command would allow one to set a button or keyboard command for quicker use.

also, commands for turning a layer or class on/off by selecting an item on that layer or class would be handy.

You might use "show and snap to others" to achieve sort of a locked behavior for layers/classes other than the active one.

try this, put in as a script in your resource pallet or make it a tool or command with the ORGANIZE/create PIO command.

Procedure TurnOffClass;VARx,y:REAL;hndObj:HANDLE;classname:STRING;

BEGIN

repeatGetPt(x,y);hndObj:= PickObject(x,y);SetSelect(hndObj);classname:= GetClass(hndObj);HideClass(classname); redraw;until hndObj=NIL;{script will be ended by clicking on a free space in your drawing}

END;RUN (TurnOffClass);
