Grouping layer properties

The option allows to create and use groups of layer properties. With the option enabled, available is the Inherit parent item structure option.


Inherit parent item structure

The option allows for automatically enabling layers of the parent object into a group of properties of layers. A parent object is deemed to be a document, view, or a group where a new layer property group is created.

If this option is enabled, then creation of a group of properties is performed as follows:

if the parent object is a group of properties, then all layers of this group with their preset settings will be copied into the new group,

if the parent object is a view, then the new group will contain all layers of this view and their properties,

if the parent object is a document (a root object of the Document treethen the new group will contain all layers of all views.

Change of the method of grouping in a document results in irreversible changes of created groups and filters. For more details, see section Basics of working with layer sets.

On completion of the set-up, press the OKbutton. Click Cancel to discard all changes and close the dialog box.
