Hello,
I like and use layers and I was looking for a quick way to turn all the layers either on of off. Some kind of key sequence maybe?
Thanks
Willy

Short answer: no
Slightly longer answer: all about layers https://docs.vectric.com/docs/V10.5/VCa ... index.html and all about keyboard shortcuts https://docs.vectric.com/docs/V10.5/VCa ... index.html

Maybe control L then select the top light bulb to toggle.

Re: Layers shortcut key.
I use layers a lot as well. I used to have the layers tab detached and floating but, now I've gone from a three monitor setup to a single ultrawide monitor, I've settled on having it docked with the Toolpath tab. That way I can have the Drawing and Layers tab (the two I use 99%) of the time open at all times. That speeds things up a fair bit for me.
I use a lot of gadgets and AutoIt macros also but that's another level again.

Re: Layers shortcut key.
The only one I am aware of is:
In the Layer tab (lower left) there is a bulb which turns all layers on/off.

Re: Layers shortcut key.
Another interesting note I had failed to mention is that the Layers can be reorganized on the Layer tab by highlighting the layer you want moved then selecting either the move up arrow or move down arrow in the upper right of the Layer tab.oooohhhh..... I never noticed that. Cool.

Re: Layers shortcut key.
There's a range of new delete options that have been added to the right click context menu for the Layers tab and Layers dropdown in version 11. I find them incredibly useful.
You can now delete the selected layer (as before), all visible layers, all invisible layers or all empty layers. The last one is great for tidying up large jobs after you've finished with the bulk of the editing.

Re: Layers
After spending countless hours and enduring endless frustrations with layers I finally contacted support. I got a quick answer and a helpful video. I had thought clicking on the lightbulb activated a layer but learned that it only displayed it! Problems solved.
The moral of the story is that don’t hesitate to contact support. They are quick and very good! I let my ego cost me way too much time. Contact them early on
