PDF export

Hi Carlos, the PDF export does already support layers, there are some options for how layers are generated that you can set under the "Line style options" button.

But it seems that many programs do not read layers from PDF files, I think Affinity designer does though.

Editable text is somewhat problematic because the text transformation matrix supported by PDF is limited and can't apply the division needed for a perspective transform. So I don't think it is possible to do editable text exported out from a 3D perspective view.

From an orthographic view it could be possible although there are some other complications too like it will be hard to preserve various kinds of formatting like tab stops and text alignment and justification. It's also kind of hard to control the precise size of the text so that it doesn't spill a little bit out of tight spots like an inline dimension's textbox.

I might be able to give it a try in the future for orthographic views but it may be hard to get it to work completely reliably.
