Hiding blocks using layers
From a QCAD user:
Re: Hiding blocks using layers
Each block reference ("block insertion") is placed on a layer. If that layer is switched off, the block reference is also turned off.
1. Insert block "block1" on layer "A".
2. Insert block "block1" on layer "B".
Turning off layer "A" will hide the instance of "block1" on layer "A".
Turning off layer "B" will hide the instance of "block1" on layer "B".
1. Insert block "block1" on layer "A".
2. Insert block "block1" on layer "B".
Turning off layer "A" will hide the instance of "block1" on layer "A".
Turning off layer "B" will hide the instance of "block1" on layer "B".
