Layers for Outfitting Models - *12​.1​.SP3*

Description

For a long time all outfitting models have been put into the same layer in the marine drawing object. You could see this when using the function "View\Layer" for example. All Outfitting models were in layer "-2501". This has now been improved; each Outfitting discipline is now in separate layer. The Outfitting disciplines and their new layers are:

You will see the change when you create new views. For old drawings an update design will change the layers. If you want to upgrade many drawings in batch you can do so with the utility program sy013.

Note:
The use of new layers requires that you have upgraded your database(s) with the optional upgrade 12010301.

New layers also make it possible to identify models of different outfitting disciplines in the drawing, for example with the MARAPI function "ModelIdentify".

Benefits

You can now show/hide the various outfitting disciplines on the screen with the "View\Layer" function. When exporting to DXF you will get one layer for each outfitting discipline.

Compatibility Constraints

The PADD database to which the drawing belongs must be upgraded with the optional upgrade 12010301. If not, the old layer will be used.
