Hi Yagnesh, Matteo and I also had difficulties to understand the PythonCAD code, this (and performance) initiated the restructuring. I agree with you on layer management. We can also use the new cairo draw functions for plotting. Just a thought: Maybe we can define a special layer for plot layout (something like paper space). On this plot layout the user can define multiple viewports with a different visual portion of the model/image/scene. Pen assignment sounds like using a pen plotter and plotting with hpgl. I don't know there exists such back end for cairo.
