Draft Layer

Description
The Draft Layer creates a special kind of group that controls the visual properties of objects placed inside of it. By changing the properties of the Layer, such as line width, line color, shape color and transparency, the changes are propagated to the objects that make use of the Layer property.

This tool replaces Draft VisGroup starting from FreeCAD 0.19.

Note: The BIM Workbench offers a complete layer manager tool, which will eventually be included in Draft
