Layer Extension with Layer Name

[Bruce]

It would be really handy to have the layer extension able to be created/named at the same time one is creating the layer.

I use extensions to differentiate between layers of the same name (e.g. DEMO, EXIST, OPT1 etc), but in order to do this I have to first create the layer with a letter short so it doesn't clash with the exsiting layer name, add the extension, then add the last letter to the layer name.

It would easier if the extension could be created at the same time.

You can add an extension to the original layer, then create another layer of the same (original) name, but yes, a valid point. Why not have both inputs in the same pop-up?

When you type in the layer's name, follow it with a period. Everything after this period becomes the extension.

wall.int
wall.ext

Wall.site.D

site.D is all in the extension
