Default Layers

Post by thetinman101 »

Greetings all.
I am a long time user of Vectric produsts and until recently I never really had a question that I couldn't find in the forums somewhere. My question is in regards to creating a default Layer that starts everytime Aspire starts up. Currently we have on 2 default Layers: Bitmap Layer & Layer 1. I want to add a new layer that is always available called "Original Art" I know it is only a few steps to Make new layer and then move to it, but it would over the course of many projects make life a tad simpler.
So after all that long winded explaination, question is: Can you create a new permanent layer within the layers dropdown box?
Thanks in advance. Tim

You need to look at job templates. You can set a new job up exactly the way you want it with whatever layers you want, toolpaths, settings, material colours etc etc and then save it as a template from the File Menu.

When you want to start a new job you choose New File from Template and away you go with a new job setup exactly the way you want it.
