bringing a whole layer to back or front with one click

Post by Krischu » Fri Jan 10, 2020 10:46 am

Sometimes I find it tedious to bring all objects in a layer to front or back. Is there a way to switch a whole layer back or to front with one click?

Layer
Select all layer entities
Bring to front / Sent to back

They have to be able to get selected.

I can use the drop down menu Layer and I see Y+, but nothing happens, when I click Y+

Then I tried it once gain and the items got selected. Strange.

Read the instructions!
Y+ adds the layer that is active its etities to the selection.
Y-removes them from the selection.

All depends what is set active and what is set selected...
