Layout Attribute drawing preferences + freeze layers

Post by opsale » Tue Jun 25, 2019 3:06 pm

In other CAD-programs it's possible to have several overall editable preferences for a drawing (like Drawing title, customer name, ...)

Is it possible to set these preferences only once in the drawing file and print this in a title block in every layout? I hate to have to set them correct in every layout.

There is an other problem I have with the Layout view: when I select a layer and toggle "freeze layer": nothing happens.
Where is the overview which layer is frozen, and which is not?

Thanks for the help!

No.

To show the "frozen" status in the layer list:
Edit > Application Preferences > Widgets > Layer List > Show frozen column
