Hi All!
I most definitely disagree!
I think it makes perfect sense to use the same coordinate system and the
_same bounds_ (thus the same resolution) as the first map layer for the
cosmetic layer.
It should not be optional.
This is because I think it is unlikely that the average user would want
to add objects outside the visibly mapped area.
On the other hand, that user will more likely use the cosmetic layer as
a transfer place for map editing.
And if the cosmetic layer should allow for drawing outside the bounds of
the current 'first layer', those objects could not be stored there
without increasing the bounds anyway.
I'd like to make another suggestion - perhaps it would be possible to
change the drawing cursor when you leave the bounds of the editable
layer?
Make it flip to a stop sign, or a red X on the black +.
Then the user would get a visible signal that something is amiss.
Regards, Mats.E
