Robert Valentino Well-Known Member Licensed User Longtime User Mar 19, 2021 #1 I wish that designer had a layers similiar feature to toggle showing screens and sub screens I use a product called paint.net to like most drawing products has a layers feature which allows you to toggle on and off what layer you want to show Makes it easier to work I sometimes have a lot of screens in a designer screen and it would be a lot easier if I could toggle on and off which ones were showing at the time Just something that would make designing multiple screens in one a lot easier. I normally move the screens that I am not working off into the dark area or drag the one I am to the front, but either is a little inconvenient Just a thought BobVal

It would be very interesting if one could "load" a layout to a on-going layout... to have a full picture ... preview if you want to call it... Same with the custom views... being alble to "see" the actual views layout instead of a base panel
