Is there a way to set a colour/transparency for a layer?
Desired result:
- Switching to a layer switches the design colour/transparency to the layer preset
and/or
- Placing an object in a layer changes it's colour/transparency to the layer preset

This helps, thnx.

More info on how to manipulate the outcome would be very welcome.

I'm looking for any and all resources regarding scripting. Specifically to facilitate exporting a BOM and/or a cutlist to excel.

(assuming one needs scripting for this to work)

Thnx.

... they don't spend a lot time on this forum since its intent is user to user interface. If that is the case, I don't understand the purpose of the "suggestions and enhancements" forum. I didn't seem to have any luck reaching Missler either through using the form on their website or thro...

I discovered there is a drop-down menu in the semi-transparant box that appears when you select a dimension. It replaces the entire content of the dimension. This can be used to check the existing names and add them in when you're using just that value. Although this helps, I think it could be more ...

Somehow I can't get "conical perspective" to stick. The view keeps reverting to one without perspective, especially after using "fit screen".

I'd like the perspective view to stick. Please advise.

so what I gather is this group top.cfg gets read first then config top.cfg gets read, and it overwrites group top.cfg settings that are also in the config's top.cfg for some settings (and no one knows for which and/or how many) this is not the case workings might differ for different .cfg files Excu...

Remi, are you saying there are no exceptions to this?

Using edgebandings - Nesting don't calculate edgebanding thickness INTO part size, so nested parts are smaller, when edgebandings cut off their thickness from part. It's stoneage solution when edgebanding machines didn't had milling unit. Here are some workarounds to get right result. As I understa...

To make it more clear what is meant with a parameter and/or expression, it is a good habit to make parameters a bit more expressive than just 1,2, or 3-letter combinations. (good code hardly needs documentation). Currently, this is not so easy, because it is not straightforward which parameters are ...

As I understand it, by default TS looks at the group top.cfg, and then overrides it with the config's top.cfg settings to adjust the company settings with personal preferences. Yet I am told (by our reseller's consultant) that there are settings for wich the group's top.cfg settings are forced. Is t...

Thank you for the repsonse. It still looks like a steep hill, but I'll just keep placing one foot in front of the other

From what I heard, Missler is not convinced there is a demand for this.

So I would encourage all of you to look at the video I mentioned earlier reviewing using the mouse in combination with Inventor. And please reply if you would like this functionality.

Does anyone use an advanced version of 3Dconnexions 3D mouse? Did you get it to work properly? If yes how? I've got the Spacemouse Enterprise (3dconnexions flagship model) now, but out of the box (in combination with TopSolid) it only seems to come with the budget model functionality in combination ...

Yeah, I couldn't find a better word. Basically corpus would be a sets of four panels: left, right, top, bottom. (and corpora as plural)
