Setting Marked Lines as a different layer when placing part into a drawing

Setting Marked Lines as a different layer when placing part into a drawing

When creating a 2D drawing of a parts using inventor, can marked lines come into the drawing as a different layer so they can be set as a different colour, This feature is there when you export a part but not when you are making a drawing of that part.

 

Left is how it currently works, right is how I'm suggesting it work.

Hello,
i think a layer manager would be grate. In the layer manager should be all parts listed. For each part there should be an option to choose a line color and also a color for the hatching. 

This will be very useful for us.

Please AutoDesk,  listen to the ones that use Inventor DWG to make detail drawings.    Please make Inventor DWG work with AutoCAD Layers when it comes to parts & line color.  This is a great idea.

Has this been implemented with inventor 2025? I did not see it on the "Whats New" list.

@kevinsUB93Q It is not implemented in Inventor 2025, but definitely one in our list in future release. Many thanks!

It would be nice if you could change the layer in "Object Defaults" so we can set it automatically. For us, this way when I start an IDW and add the flat pattern all "Mark Features" are on our "Scribe" layer.
