How not to show added layer in part.

[Zestje]

Hello again,
In my drawings I always have set
'draw_layer_overrides_model' to 'yes' and
'ignore_model_layer_status' to 'yes' as well by default.
When I have a drawing of a part and add a new layer to the part, put a cosmetic or sketch feature on it and go to the drawing, as soon as I update, the new layer is shown in EVERY single view, when I usually want it to 'show up' in just one or two specific views.Is there a way to have some kind of rule, so that when layers are added to the drawing automatically, because they were added to a part, they are not shown in the drawing by default? I'm on WF2 btw.

As far as I know there is nothing to keep a layer created in the model from showing up on the drawing. The commands you listed above control the status of the views. If you want the sketch feature to only show up in a couple of views you need to select the view in the drop down list or click the arrow and select the view you want to remove the feature fromand then hide the layer with the feature on it.

@kd2007: Thnak you for your answer. I already thought there was no 'short & easy' way to do that, just wanted to be sure.

Please understand that the layer tree is an independent function of proe. It shows collectively, the layers of the drawing, and the layers of the models associated with the drawing.

When a new layer is added to the model, and the relevant drawing opened, that layer will show in the layer tree, but the drawing its self does not have a new layer. That only happens if a RMB> NEW LAYER sequence is done.

'ignore_model_layer_status yes' Causes the drawing to maintain an independent set of layer status's for all models shown on the drawing.

'draw_layer_overrides_model yes' is only effective if the drawing itself has layers with the same names as those in the models.
