Could we select several layers at one time and lock them? I would LOVE this so much. Now I have to go through and double click each layer individually in the layer palette, really slows me down. Bonus points for a vertical lock bar with a lock icon, like the print icon.

Here ya go: Select the layers you want to lock (command click if they are not contiguous in the list).
Double click on the gear icon of one of them.
Check the Locked checkbox in the dialog.
All the selected layers will now be locked.

Right click on the layer window and check the "Edit Layer Column" to show a column of gears.
When clicked the gears bring up the Layer Attributes dialog that lets you Lock the layer, set the layer color, opacity, and scale.

You can (cmd)select the layers then click the Edit button in the Layers window and then click Locked in the Layer Attributes window.

Are you working with a Beta version?

No idea, if so, it is many moons ago that I installed it. My profile says PowerCADD version: 9.5.0 (Build QD06)

Fantastic!! Learned a new trick. I've been so used to double clicking a layer to get the Edit window to pop up, I never tried that trick.
