Hi,
Recently, I found out that tabs (CAM module) are only visible on layer 0. If I turn this layer off, the tabs will disappear, which is very inconvenient for me. Usually I create a drawing using multiple layers. Layer 0 contains the frame and the info table only. When the drawing is ready and verified, I add a layer on which I create a copy of the drawing just for g-code generation (sometimes my drawing has to be slightly modified for cnc purposes). Unfortunately, it means that I cannot see the tabs. I would like to ask for the correction of this option.
Best Regards
Konrad

Hi Konrad,

Here in the forum will it get lost ...
What's about chnanging the tab layer from 0 to XYZ in the block list?

Re: CAM module - invisible tabs
Hi,
I think that tab visibility should be directly related to the layer. I will report it as you suggested. Thanks!

Re: CAM module - invisible tabs
There is indeed no reason why a frame or an info table must be on the default layer 0.
But I fully agree, you may have noticed that tabs are simply drawing entities that are generated on layer 0.
Why not on a layer called 'tabs'.
That would not be a violation of the use of layers to group things that look alike.
I do see an issue in backwards compatibility ...
Another remark is that it is common to have A) A drawing, a design with e.g.: construction lines, paper_spaces, pictures, ....
And B) A reduced set or sets for CAM export what still can be adapted for cnc purposes.
file B would not require a frame, info or a paper layout.

K0nrad,
Loading the example file from Bugtracker FS#2388 displayed fine over here.
With layer 0 hidden and frozen.
The difference would be:
App.Prefs. .. Layer .. Compatibility .. Layer 0 behaves differently
