A way to apply color to layers, in bulk.

[Theoryshaw]

Let's say you have 100 layers all assigned to the color white. Is there script or UI approach that could apply random colors to these layers, in bulk?

Or a mapping interface where you could have a text file with something like the following

Code: Select all

Layer Name X = Red
Layer Name Y = Green
Layer Name Z = Blue

...and run this in bulk?

Yes these things are perfectly possible with scripting.
I don't see the purpose of random colors but how distinct should they be? QCAD supports 24bit colors.
There are 18 predefined CAD colors.

For mapping you list primary colors and for this you need those 100+ layer names.
