Relink drawing by drag and drop

It should be possible to relink a drawing by dragging and dropping a view to the drawing frame so that we can use the the navigator instead of going through the context menu to a dialog with the same structure but that resets between relinking multiple drawings.

So just to clarify.

You don't want to simply delete the existing drawing and then drag & drop the new view on the layout.

Because you will have to resize the frame and re-position it?

 

You want to keep the existing drawing frame and have the new view just link to it by dragging a view from the view map to it - although you would probably still need to resize it unless they were exactly the same size.

Lenovo Thinkpad - i7-1270P 2.20 GHz, 32GB RAM, Nvidia T550, Windows 11

The use case would be the same as for the current "link to" functionality - it would just be a quicker and more intuitive way to do it.

And as always - the basic functionality is already implemented somewhere for something... it is possible to set master layout by dragging a master item in the navigator/organiser and dropping it on a layout item.
