Layer Color Number to List With Color

[autocad.wishlist1734]

Summary: If an object is bylayer, the layer color number should display when looking at the objects properties.

Description: If an object's color is by layer, when the object is listed either in properties or xlist that the layer's color number is also listed. Example: Bylayer(5) If the layer color is blue.

How Used: Often times in a drawing I want to know the color of an object but when I look at it's properties, it says its "Bylayer". If want to know the actual color I have to take the time to go into the layer dialog box, find the correct layer to find out the color. This would be a time savings.

I think that's a good idea.

This also applies to linetype or any of the properties that correspond with "bylayer" - it is always an extra step to find out what the "bylayer" properties are.

With "linetype" and "lineweight" you get a display representing the type and weight; with colour you get a swatch but not a number.
