Hi,

I would like an option to set a view (Breadboard, Schematic or PCB) as reference design.  
This option would make impossible to change the design from others views.

I ask this feature because when I am working on Breadboard view, sometimes this breaks things into Schematic and PCB views.  
This may be because I have connected wrong parts.  
But with the option that I suggest, if I set Schematic view as reference, this would not break things into Schematics, nor into PCB. This would just show me connections errors on Breadboard view.
