Is it possible to have views not only store the a position and zoom-factor but also layer setting, specifically which layers are visible?
What am I trying to do?
In a medium complex drawing it's way too much details to have all layers in my drawing visible at once. I also want to have only one model and prefer to avoid creating copies to avoid duplication of work and risk inconsistency. So i would like to create a number of views with selected layers visible (that makes sense for the purpose of the view) and assign the views to different layout blocks (using view-ports) in paper-space. This also means that view-ports would have to be aware of what view they are displaying (if any besides the standard-view).
Is there any functionality (I'm using the "pro" version) that I haven't discovered that would help me achieve this?
(If not - then this functionality would be a good candidate for future versions )

Re: Keeping layer visibility settings in views?
Nope - not in the current QCAD Version.
However - you can already create particular views and different Layer States BUT there is no connection between those two function. If you choose a view in the View List you have to activate the matching layer state manually.
BTW: Views and Layer States are saved with the drawing and still available after reopen a drawing.
