Suggestion: Soloing multiple layer in layer gallery and Merge layers

[Mikhail]

Hello!

1) At the moment we can only solo one layer or object at one time. But sometimes you need to see a few of them. If you have a 30 layers in your work, and if you wanna to see only two layers at the same time, you need to turn off visibility of 28 layers first.

2) The merge selected layers function, would be very useful for work!

Have you tried Grouping the objects you want to see, then Solo the Group? Works in XDP11.

Thank you for your advice, very helpful, didn't knew about it!

With best regards, Mikhail

But if you are using something like template (or working in artgroup), there one problem: objects (from multiple layers may be) moving through layers - changing their order, sometimes its not very good, cause after all you'll need to move them back to their destination layers. Imho: more conveniently push a few buttons to solo a few layers )

I'm confused. Can you provide an example?

Regarding your second question (merge selected layers): you can select and drag all (or some) objects from one layer to another layer in the Page and Layers panel, effectively 'merging' layers. Does that work for you?

It's very easy to turn multiple layers invisible quickly, even 30 of them. In the Page & Layer Gallery, left click on the top "eye" symbol, and without letting go of the left click, drag your cursor to the bottom. You can then select the multiple layers you want turned on separately. Turn them back on the same way. This works with the lock too.
