Topic Title

Hello,

In the Reference File Manager (RFM) if we could have a "radio button" next to the GTV's, that showed black indicator of which GTV is "active" in that Reference File, and have it grayed if you selected a GTV and then toggled on/off some layer(s).

Another helpful thing, would be to have the layer where each Reference File is, listed to the right of the file name. If you then click on the layer name, you could make that layer Active, so you can determine which one is which.

A couple more Reference File wishes:

Nesting defaulting to Off would be much better.

Dynamic Snapping (indicator) should also be Off by default.

Nesting defaulting to Off would be much better.

Yeah this one gets a big vote from me. We have to remember to turn it off every time we open a drawing and insert a xref.

Dynamic Snapping (indicator) should also be Off by default.

We have Dynamic Snapping Indicator & Hints turned off in the Program Prefs and they stay turned off across drawings. Is there something else to this wish I'm missing?

I disagree, I would say an OPTION to have it default to off would be better. We need nesting on more often than not.

Dynamic Snapping (indicator) should also be Off by default.

Like Josh we have it turned off in Program Preferences and it doesn't seem to be a problem.

Paul's right, I think it should be an option too as I'm sure the differance here is in the single vs. multifile working methods which is fine. Good eye Paul.

Sounds like this is a personal or office default file setting.

The dynamic snapping indicator in XRef's does not get set in Program Preferences, as far as I can tell. In other words you can have it turned on for the general drawing, but not want to have it on in each and every XRef. I'm asking for it to be off in XRef's; whether or not it is on in the program preferences.

Ahhh, now I got ya. Sounds like your wanting to have the indicators on in the drawing but not in the xrefs because of speed or visual clarity? If for speed, there is the dcadwin.ini line

Code: Select all[xrefs]
Dynamic Snapping=TRUE

that if set to FALSE, I think disables dynamic snapping all together for xrefs. If your wanting it for visual clarity probably a new ini option to go along with the one above to disable only the indicators for xrefs would probably need to be added huh?

Thanks Josh -- that is the setting I need to change.

Hey anytime I can payback a little for all your shared knowledge is a treat. Glad it worked out for ya.
