Does the layer function works in the a2plus work bench? Can you toggle it on or off? Its very ineterresting. In my old job i was making assembly drawings with some context and all the context was in blue in the 2d drawing.
I have no experience with a2plus workbench, so I cannot tell. You could give it a try, I guess it could work as Layers is part of Draft and BIM workbenches, which are default workbenches in FreeCAD.
For sure you can group thing together in FreeCAD. I would say the closest thing to block as I know it from AutoCAD is the Compound tool. But other tools can be used such as Group, Part, Link.... there are many options as is usual in FreeCAD :)
@@FCBlounge I have also found that it doesn't work well with mirrored objects either... the mirrored object picks up the layer properties but base object doesn't..
@@sp7067 It depends, all of these objects behave in a different way. But if you create a Compound and create clones from the original compound, than yes, it takes over the properties of the Layer.
@@sp7067 Yes, mirrored objects behave this way. There is a discussion on how these should be handled, it was reported to GitHub: github.com/FreeCAD/FreeCAD/issues/16725
Nice ! Tanks. It's becoming better every day. It seems to be a funny mix of Qgis, Revit and others drawing programs :)
Yes, there are lot of tools under the FreeCAD umbrella :)

I wish fusion 360 had layers
Can you create blocks with freecad?
