wish: more visual options in layer- and class-menu


Tobias Kern

Question

hi,

we definately need a lot more options in the layer-menu.

most files i work with, often have more than 30 layers.

the count of the classes are often tripled.

so in this situation the clarity is worse.

1.

it would be very usefull if we could give our construction layers

a color in the layermenu.

with this option we have visually a lot more setups.

for example:

red color = old layers or overhauled layers

green color = actual layers

please same for layout-layers and classes

2.

please give us a option to visually separate the construction-layers

in the layer-menu.

some offices make a clear layer with a dashed-line as name to visually separate their layers. we should have a option to

have the same result but with no extra layer.

please same for layout-layers and classes

3.

please give us more fields in layer-menu:

for example:

- field for the scale of the layer (1:100, 1:200, ...)

- field for the actual papersize (din a3, horizontal

- some extra fields for our own notations (draft planing, construction documentation, ...)

please same for layout-layers and classes

4.

please give us the option to link layers, so that

if we move one of them the linked-layer is also moving.

5.

please give us a separate windows for the classes and layout-layers.

so that we can show layer-menu and class-menu side by side.

this would save some lifes from many many pc-mouses.

the combined window (as it is now) should be maintained

6.

maybe a option for a visuall-hierarchie setup could be usefull

in the menu.

thnx and cheers!

Looks like nearly all of these but 5 have been submitted already, adding this thread to those cases and creating a new one for dual view of both the class and layer lists at once.
