Summary: Allow you to map "parts" to different layers in an IDW.

Description: I would like part or assembly level mapping of layers in an IDW. This would need to be controlled at the part/assembly level, almost like a design view rep, and these controls would then be chosen upon creation of a drawing view.

How Used: This would allow the true design intent to come through more easily on a drawing, because when multiple components are visible, having only one "visible" layer (and lineweight) reduces the amount of control available. Multiple layers with multiple lineweights can be created, then mapped to the proper entity in the assembly.

Feature Affinity: Drawing Manager
