Ohhh man, Symbol Layer Control is making our symbol library so much more organized being able to have a single symbol and being able to toggle on/off layers depending on the use case. Thank You!

Josh,
I am trying to find how and where to get to that option to turn on and off layers of inserted, unexploded symbols. I am not finding that magical setting or selection.

1. Under Insert/Symbol Layer Control, you need this set to per ??
2. Ctrl-Right click on a Symbol, the bottom of the menu should be
Symbol Tools/Symbol Layer Manager

My brain is not getting this. It's not me, it's my brain. I don't see the Insert/Symbol and layer control in the Insert menu at the top of the DCAD screen. Is this a specific ini file change or is this something that I should see within a DCAD menu item?

My .ini has this in the Symbol section
[Symbols]
Default Layer Control=2
Insertion Point Considered For Area/Fence=FALSE
New Scale/Rotation=TRUE
Remember Layer On/Off States=TRUE
