gvSIG CE Link Text to Layer

A new functionality "Link Text to Layer" will be implemented in gvSIG CE that let you create links between text elements (map document) and layers (view document).
If you set a layer in the view as not visible, the text in the layout will disappear simultaneously.
To use this new link option follow these instructions:
1.- Add layers to one/more view/s
2.- Create a new map document and insert the view you want to present as a map
3.- Insert the text you would like to have in the map

4.- By Click activate the text object and open the context menu with a right mouse click. Select the option set visibility link, a window with selectable layers will be opened. Select the layer you want to link with your text map object

5.- The text now has an active link to the layer. If you set the layer as not visible in the view, the text will also disappear in the map. Selecting the option remove visibility link, the link between layer and text will be deleted.
