Improve Hotlink Manager to include mentioning used Layers

Nader

One of the things that can be quite frustrating and time consuming is not having a quick way to know where something was put at and the nature of existence to the whole model, and one of the best examples is the Hotlink Manager.

When you insert a Hotlink to the model, the program will ask you for the Master Layer, and ID, which is fine, but when you have to quickly check which Layer was used to put the Hotlink using the Hotlink Manager, it simply does not mention neither the Master layer that was used nor the master ID that was given, and to query a whole model for this data, by turning on/off layers one by one, is time consuming.

I wish that the Hotlink Manager to:

  1. Mentions the Master Layer and the given ID of every Hotlink used.
  2. The ability to change these data from with in the Hotlink Manager.

Select the module or part of the module and right mouse click.

Choose "Hotlink Selection Settings..."

You will see exactly the same dialogue as when you placed the module.

You can also change the settings there.

 

If you are happy with this, I will close the wish.

@Barry Kelly For my immediate needs the answer is just fine

 

But for those cases were the model do have a lot of hotlinks, I still believe that it's necessary

The problem is the hotlink manager does not show individual instances of each module, and even if it did, you would not know from looking in the list which module it is in the plan.
