Layer Translation Setting - layer "Plot" status seems to be missing

Hi,

We have a dws file used for layer translations, it works fine.

There is an issue. We have set up a non-printable layer ("Plot" status = "off").

This non-printable layer is translated to another non-printable layer, with a different name, color, etc.

The problem is - the translated, non-printable layer, does not keep its "Plot" status off; it becomes printable.

I could not find anywhere in the translation window settings, anything that keeps the plot status of translated non printable layers.

I even opened the dws file and manually turned off the "Plot" status of that particular layer, it doesn't seem to make any difference.

Is there a way to maintain the plot status of layers, after the layer translation process is complete?

Thanks a lot in advance!

Create a layer state before then reactivate afterwards.

Thank you, however it does not address my problem.

The idea is to have users translate layers without thinking about extra commands or steps to complete laytrans.
