Clipping drawings can now be placed in one global set of layers. This helps organize the drawings and set their properties in one location.

Hi @rajaa I’m answering you here to keep the conversation about Global Clipping layer all togheter.
What I see from your video is that I can’t define the name of the “clipping drawing layer” during the creation.
I imagine I can change this name later but having a fixed name it’s reductive also when you have to translate it for the different language.
I don’t know how long is to add this option but I’m exepcting to have the same behaviour we have for the Make2D command where you can type the name of the Root layer.
The subLayer can keep the name you gave them, they are comprehensible and has sense to hae them organized baased on the line category.
I do see your point, and I had this discussion with @wim and @mary and we decided not to offer a “name” option and opt to the checkbox to output to the Global Layer to keep it simple.
The “Clipping Drawings” name is the same as the one created with “CreateTemplateDrawings” command, and it should not be changed, otherwise a new structure will be created with updates. We can localize it.
Simplicity is always a good choice so I will not complain.
If I can suggest one thing is that “Clipping Drawing” isn’t an explicative name nor intuitive.
It does’n not connect to technical drawing. Could it be simply “Technical Drawing” or “2D Drawing”?
We chose “Clipping Drawings” because this is the name of the command that creates them and is somewhat unique, but I do see your point. We are open to suggestions.
