First Look At v6.0

Took a test drive of v6 last night for a hour. And first impression is the *Hierarchy Function* is great

In the past I have always been hiding things. Then if I want to work with a hidden piece unhiding eveything and then rehiding all stuff i don't need.

The ability to hide/show/lock stuff in the heirarchy .... looks like a great time saver. Show/hide exactly what you want.

The only reason now for buttons on *left toolbar* seem to be for hiding blocks of seleleted objects all at once or showing everything with one click.

Have a question though. Dennis has a "layer* plugin which I have never tried. Has it become redundant with this new hierarchy functionality .... or does it have some extra stuff ??
