„By Layer“ option for attributes (as in AutoCAD)

[talker]

Add an option to set various attributes to “by layer” (compare AutoCAD).
Pen colors and line types can be controlled depending on the layer, or overridden specifically.
2D elements, as well as documentation tools and objects, can be globally controlled without creating graphical overrides.

I think you can reach a similar result by applying a graphic override like:

if layer is "XYZ", apply "pen 01" and "linetype 03"
