Can't use layers

autodeskguest
autodeskguest over 17 years ago

I have a schematic & board that was created using Eagle Light on linux.

I just upgraded to standard to be able to use 4 layers. I changed the

drc layers tab to ((12)+(1516)), but the layers are still not

available in the "display" or "select layers" areas.

 

If I create a new board using standard and set the layers to

((12)+(1516)) it works as expected. Is there a problem moving boards

create under Eagle Light to Eagle Standard? Or am I missing something?

    No effect.

     

    I solved this by create a new board and then using the group-cut-paste

    trick to move everything over from the original board. I then closed

    everything and renamed the original board hide.brd and gave the new

    board the original name. The layers are all now available and

    consistency seems ok.

     

    Would be nice if the original problem was fixed for the future, however.
