turn off unused layers in an existing project

mikej_w

I somehow ended up with all 16 routing layers enabled on a 2 layer

board. I also have some layers i will not be using at all in this design

- how do I keep them from showing up in my layer list?

I know how to turn off the display of the layers, I just don't want to

see these layers in the layer selection dialog.

    I just go to drc settings, layers tab and change stackup there. You must do

    a change for this to work, so you may have to do it twice.

     

    This has limited success, the ST USED_LAYERS is more complete. Thanks

    for your reply, though. I appreciate the time/help given here.

    See what the SET command can do for you, especially SET USED_LAYERS (see

    the built-in HELP or the manual).

    SET USED_LAYERS worked nicely, thanks. I didn't look closely enough in

    the help.

     

     

    P.S. You really don't need to attach html code here.

     

    Sorry, it was unintended - fixed.
