Title: Locked Layer Issue
Post by: Troy4all on October 05, 2017, 09:49:14 AM
When toggling layer visibility if you Isolate any given layer it turns off all other layers even if they are locked "on". You have to Unlock the layers or Show all to make them visible again.

I think that is the way it is supposed to behave.  When you Isolate a layer, you are saying to hide all layers except the one I am isolating.  It's like on an audio mixing console - there is a SOLO button.  When you press that, it turns off all other channels so only the solo-ed channel is playing / recording.

Are you saying that when you then "un-isolate" the layer, the other layers don't return back to their initial shown / hidden states?  (Sorry - we don't use layers much here yet.)  You might submit this as a feature request to Bluebeam.

Also, have you looked into Layer Configurations?  That might be able to help you some if you save the layer setup as a Configuration before isolating.  You might be able to restore things then by switching to your saved Configuration.  There is info on Configurations here:

That is what I was going for as there is no real way to "un-isolate" or go back before a layer was isolated without using some sort of layer configuration or manually re-(un)/checking the layer visibility.
