![]() I think it may help to explain the why the two methods were created in more depth. ![]() I don't have any CAD background, and I am more confuse now, On/Off also makes objects visible/invisible, same as Freeze. Visible = visible, selectable and editable There is a standard of needing only 3 Layer states, Other Apps do that in the background and hide it from the user. To provide these actions because ACAD Tools work that way. I see it as an ACAD limit that "locked" elements need to be actively selected You can see things as a reference, can snap to it or use the in cases like It is like ACAD "locked" but of course selection is locked. "Grayed" is a Layer State called in other Apps outside of Autocad Universe. You can check Settings, there are system variabled to influence fading of locked layers, and selection preview / highlighting. "grayed" from "layer-is-locked" status does not at all mean that is can not be selected. Īnd b) is what "locked layer" means - it prevents that such entities can be modified - but there are tons of scenarios, where such entities must remain selectable - besides TRIM/EXTEND, think of queries like AREA, LIST, etc. The question is "what does 'disabled' mean ?"Ī) totally unusable (then you could better freeze a particular layer)ī) or just "prevent modification" to such entities. I think that is just a nice optional behavior in very very rare cases.īut how can I ged rid of any irritating highlighting or selection If I had all these Entities in my mind I wouldn't even need to look at the MonitorĪt all. What's the meaning of selecting and manipulating Entities that you can't see ? Things that you need only as a reference. To focus on Entities of current interest and prevent for accidentally destroying In a crowded drawing it helps a lot if you have some filtering or exclusion While Highlighting is a soft form of indication, like saying you snapped to the ![]() To do any deeper interaction with such a Entity, like manipulation or translation. I think "Selection" is an "Activation" of an Entity that implies that you want I am fine with the trim operation, of course. Honestly I have never seen, needed or missed that anywhere before. Maybe I don't understand the benefits so far. Not really for me, outside of the Autocad Universe. It is normal that entities on locked layers can be selected ![]()
