This is a project that I started on that came about from CATIA (If you don't know, it is a high end solid modeling package $$)
This program has what they call Show/ NoShow Space it is sort of like freezing or turning off layers. They disappear in to noshow. So I thought that this would be a great idea to extend my layer routines. I have started the coding and done a little testing but more work needs to be done.
How it works is if you have layers that are off in order to get those layers to turn on you have to open up the layer dialog and search for the layers that are off then turn them on. My spin on this is to turn off the layers that are on and turn on the layers that are off. Then you select the layers that you want on then when you are done it turns off the layers that were originally off and turns on the layers that were originally on as well as the layers that you just selected. I have also changed the background color so there you can tell what is what.
The question would be do you think that tis would be a useful program?
I am thinking of having 2 types of noshow space "Off Space" "Frozen Space"
What do ya think?
