Valid And Invalid Layers

Starting with version 0.23, KLayout offers "invalid" layers: invalid layers can be visible, but don't participate in selection and snapping. They just act as some kind of background drawing.

Layers can be made invalid by choosing "Make invalid" from the layer's context menu. Layers can be made valid again by choosing "Make valid". Invalid layers are marked with a small "x" in the layer list.
