GP drawing on a devoted object when in surface drawmode.

The GP has a surface mode where you can draw on a surface of any object. Can you make it where you can devote an object to a GP layer so it ONLY draws on that object.

It is really needed to manage GP drawn in 3d space. As it is now- the grease pencil will snap to the camera or jump to other objects. I'd like to have planes set up at different depths into my scene, and when I draw my GP strokes to surface, I'd like to have my stroke drawn on one particular object's surface. Thank you for your consideration.

i think this is one of the reasons why there are groups. You can put your cam in a hidden group and toggle it in the header or via popup.

* @grinsegold * But I'd like to draw "through" an alpha image onto a background plane as a "surface". I need to see my forground objects. GP "surface" will always draw on the nearest object. That is not desirable and to draw in 3d must be intuitive. thx
