Add Pro Number Layer Tool

What it Does​

Creates a layer that holds the step numbers for your written drafting instructions.

A pro number is a step number placed next to a point on the draft, so a reader can match each written step to the drawing. The pro number layer keeps those numbers apart from your pattern lines. The new layer is created inside the layer that is selected now, is named with the next number in the list (for example 1 Pro Num), and becomes the active layer.

Use this before you add numbers with Add Number at Point.

warning

You need a pro number layer to add, toggle or change pro numbers. Add Number at Point, Change Number to Black and Toggle Number Color only work when the active layer is a pro number layer.

How to Use​

  1. Select the layer you want the new pro number layer to go inside
  2. Activate the tool by selecting the Add Pro Number Layer icon
  3. Select Save to create the layer, or Cancel to leave without creating it
