How to toggle multiple layers at once.

[jesper8W75R]

In EAGLE, it was possible to mark a number of layers, then toggle them all on (or off) by hitting the Space bar.
I know that shortcuts in Fusion is about as complex as making the SpaceX rocket land itself (judging from the time it takes to implement it).
But, as can be seen below it is possible to select multiple layers, so it feels like there should be a way?
Otherwise, this multiple select have absolutely no function.

I know this is a bold suggestion, but how about being able to use a double click on the right mouse key, as that already work for toggling a single layer.

Hi @jesper8W75R ,

I'm reaching out to the developers to check into this. I agree there should be a way to control the visibility of a selection of layers easily. 

If there's isn't a nice way to do this in the UI, then I'll register this as a feature request.

Let me know if there's anything else I can do for you.

Best Regards,

Thanks Jorge.
The spacebar would also be a good candidate for that how it works in EAGLE.

Hi @jesper8W75R 

Today we release Fusion 360 V2.0.12887.

Now it is possible to mark a number of layers, then toggle them all on (or off) by hitting the Space bar.

Please have a try, thanks a lot!

Fantastic! I love it!

Now we just need the location of the layer dialog (and all others) to be remembered between each opening.
( I guess having it dockable is too much to ask for).
I usually have the layers open all the time, so I can easily switch.
But, every time I open it, it pops up right in the middle of my work, so I have to move it out of the way.
No problem doing it once, but 100+ times during the day gets pretty annoying.

Anyway, good start, keep it up! 😉
