Draw Explorer Enhancements

Post by xavram »

I just finished doing an isometric map that, frankly, without the new Draw Explorer would have been almost impossible to pull off...or at the very least, would have taken me x10 as long to make.

But, I do have a couple of suggestions for enhancements for the Draw Explorer.

1. Instead of just Send to Back/Bring to Front, would it be possible to move drawings up/down in the order incrementally? That would save a ton of time.
2. The Group function is GREAT but once you have a ton of groups, its hard to keep track of what does what. Would there be anyway to name the Groups? That would be really nice.

Anyway, just food for thought!

Glad its helping.

Both those suggestion are/were planned next stages. Ideally it would be nice to be able to drag drawings up and down the list. I just haven't had any time for Maptool development this last year due to RL :cry:

I was also hoping to exposed Group Drawing IDs in some way so that they might be accessible via script.
