Switching layouts keep the Global Object on a layer number.

This is problematic when layouts have varying layers.

Is there any way to make a global object adhere to layer names and not layer numbers?

Reason: Global GUI that is always on (or near) top.

You just have to reassign them again for the new layout.

So if you have an object called "Plane" that is global and on layer "Game" on one layout

Then when you load a new layout, you just add:

Plane move to layer "Game"

Was that what you meant?

Yes. Although I was hoping an automatic workaround was made. Seems odd that it's not provided by default.

Thanks though. I'll probably end up having to do that.
