Layers in Preference files

[JB99]

I have been working with the preference files in order to have the linestyles and text styles set when a user opens Isodraw. I would like to set up layers also, but I do not see a section where that can be accomplished.

Has anyone created layers in the preference files? If so could you please share with me that portion of your ".PRF" file or point me in the correct direction where to look?

Thanks for any and all help.

I don't think you can add layer preferences to the .prf file (I maybe wrong)

The use of a template maybe the way to go or create them on the fly with a macro

You could adjust your pref automaticaly by using macro

See exemple.
