Hi all, do you know if there is a way to make Picto layers mutually exclusive? I tried to intercept last activated layer but I couldn't find a solution.
Thanks

Hi Ludovico,

This is not possible at the moment I'm afraid. Would producing different views instead of one view with multiple exclusive layers make sense for your use case?

Thanks,
Dimitris

Thanks Dimitris, Not sure what you intend, but if you have an example I can try to understand.

Hi Ludovico,

Suppose that for every class in an object-oriented model, you wish to produce one view that shows the supertypes of the class and another view that shows its subtypes. Instead of generating one view with two mutually exclusive "subtypes" and "supertypes" layers for each class (which is not supported in Picto) what I was suggesting was to generate two regular views so that your view tree looks as follows:

Model
-- Class A
---- Supertypes
---- Subtypes
-- Class B
---- Supertypes
---- Subtypes

Does this help?

Thanks,
Dimitris
