Hi all,

I'm a new Datacad user and have finally gotten over the hump of wanting it to work like autocad and have gotten into the datacad way of doing things. One thing that still bothers me however is that when a layer is locked it doesn't fade or change how it's displayed in any way. Am I the only one who wishes there was a way to fade a locked layer so they can still be seen, but at least they won't look like every other line on screen? Curious if anyone developed a macro or something I could add on to achieve this

Thank you!

On mine, a locked layer shows up in red italics on the layer manager and also in the toolbar at the top in the layers tab. I think there was a setting for that in the tools dialog box.

also the color box has an "X" through it, and in the layer manager it has a strikeout line through the name.
I had not thought of having it turned a different color (like a highlight on a xref). But then again I don't lock layers that much.
