Make a sub layer it's own layer in it's own right!

Post by Clive » Mon Nov 10, 2014 5:24 pm

When creating a sublayer and assigning a parent layer for it - I think afterwards there should be the option to make the sublayer a layer in it's own right, without any parent layer if required.
For the best support please state your operating system, QCAD version and add any supporting DXF/DWG files, screenshots etc...

1. Click the sub layer
2. Edit the layer
3. For the parent layer, choose the empty entry in the combo box

Thanks Andrew, I can understand the logic now that you've explained it, however I think it would be useful to have an 'Edit Layer' option in the layer drop down list instead of clicking a blank field. I must admit at the time I didn't think of doing this and newcomers may miss this altogether.

Not sure I follow. Are you suggesting that the empty entry in the combo box should contain the text "Edit Layer"? Why? e_confused
