Make a hotkey to switch layers & slow follow-me

autodeskguest

I am fairly new to Eagle CAD and the forums here.  Probably an easy

one.  What is the command to switch layers when manually routing?  I

know I can click on the select layer box in the top left, but I would

like to map a hotkey.  I figure it is something like "change layer route

top" or something.  I tried a few combinations with no luck.

 

Another thing I noticed, is that the follow-me routing is too slow to

even use.  Is it just my machine, or do other people experience this?  I

am running windows 8 on a dell latitude e6430.  When I click the

"follow-me (from one side)", and start to route, the entire program

freezes until I switch back to manual routing and grab a cup of coffee. 

It's also a fairly busy design which I am sure is a factor.

 

Thanks,

Eric

  • Try the "Alias" function - for more details see the online help. You can

    define aliases for: Display (layers for sch & brd seperatly), Grid & Window.

    Make your settings first then use the RMB at the appropriate button & give

    it a name. Now you can use it (max. 256 aliases). It's possible to edit,

    rename or delete an alias with the RMB on the alias. I made a lot of aliases

    for my work & they are very useful but in german image

  • If you just wish to switch between the top and bottom layers, click the

    centre mouse button.
