An idea for the future layouting feature

Another useful feature taken from BIM. Let's say, for example, when the layouting feature will be implemented, it will be possible to have more than a drawing in the same file, organized in different tabs maybe. Then, you will be able to show the content of another tab as semi-transparent, snap-able, not-editable in the current tab. Often we have to deal with different shapes of objects and it would be useful to see the differences between them in real time, but keeping each drawing organized and separated from each other. Yet the software must not become complex, but I have some thoughts for the UI to keep it simple.
For example:
- Line type and thickness as property of the style
- Dimensions could be found in the "line" tab (just to begin with, then it would become more perfect with time)
- Hatches as a special type of style (not really a prio)
- Drawings tabs in the lower part of the UI
- Each view on the print-space can have a different combination of styles.

That's all, and I mean, that really is all. I know this is not going to happen anything soon, but thank you for always considering users needs.
Regards,
