Layer/Classes Visibility

[zoomer]

Hope that I am not the only one,

but I will never get used to the way visibility is set in VW.

I would like to have to set this like in every other app I use.

One click on the Eye Symbol -> ON

Click again -> OFF

And maybe GRAYED as a sub option of VISIBLE

Plus,

Option in the RMB Options Menu :

ALL ON

ALL OFF

At the moment,

you have to either look back from the drawing to the classes list

or an CMD+Z to be able to undo your visibility setting.

And,

for ON/OFF you have to select all classes by scrolling through

the whole list and mark them first.

Submitting request for contextual menu (right click) to turn all classes off and on at once. Though It seems like All On would be most useful and All Off would not really do much other than what the Active Only class option does.

I believe you can undo JUST visibility changes with the arrows at the top left of the drawing area. Clicking the back arrow will undo view and visibility changes separate from the regular Undo command, if that's what you're looking for?

You can also hold down the alt/option key and click in the visibility column to change the visibilities of all classes/layers to that particular setting, instead of manually selecting all the classes or layers and then changing it. Unless that isn't what you meant?

* Sorry,

Didn't know that :blush:

This is just the requested ALL ON/OFF in context menu.

So all functionality there but maybe an UI thing if it is visible enough

for people like me.

:grin:

No

That's the next thing.

I would like to have both strictly separated.

F.e. I do a change in the drawing,

zoom in by several view changes, just to see that was wrong and needs

an Undo - I don't want to CMD-Z a few times to undo,

as this may be the screen crop I want to go on working anyway.

(Because that way you likely lose control how many steps you went back)

So ALL ON/OFF is sorted out.

What about omiting the "X"-Row ?

Just EYE + GRAYED to switch ON/OFF

Click on (deactivated) EYE => VISIBLE

Click on (activated) EYE => INVISIBLE

Click on (deactivated) GRAYED => VISIBLE GRAYED

Click on (activated) GRAYED => INVISIBLE

Click on (EYE activated) GRAYED => switch to VISIBLE GRAYED

Click on (GRAYED activated) EYE => switch to VISIBLE

That seems like it would make graying a class into 2 steps rather than just the one step it is now. If you had classes at INVISIBLE and wanted to set them to GRAYED, you would have to go through VISIBLE first before you got to GRAY. Where now you can go directly from INVISIBLE to GRAY.

I see your point to an extent, but it looks like this method is just an alternate method of changing class visibility, not a superior one, unless I am missing its key benefit.

[zoomer]

No, I think I was mistaken.

If a class is invisble,

you click on one of the 2 Visible options (grayed or full) to activate it.

If one of these visible modes is activated, 1 click on the other icon

switches between the 2 Options.

And clicking on an activated icon just switches it off.

[zoomer]

The only difference between as it works now and my method is that

you don't have to change the row (and be forced to look at and target

your cursor) to undo.

Gotcha, submitting request now.

[zoomer]

Thanks as always

Maybe that GRAYED should be a sub option of VISIBLE,

to keep that setting when switching all or more Classes visibility at once.

But lost overview over visibility now,

if that could be better or worse.

:crazy:
