Inconsistent behavior of DISPLAY command?

Am 24.09.2011 11:55, schrieb John Miles:

Another quick question that probably comes down to pilot error: in

setting up some key macros, I'm finding that the commands "display

tdocu" and "display -tdocu" turn the tdocu layer on and off as

expected, while "display unrouted" turns off all layers except

unrouted.  There doesn't seem to be a straightforward way to toggle

the unrouted wires on and off without affecting other layers.  Is

there a reason and/or workaround for this behavior?  Thanks!

 

DISPLAY unrouted   and DISPLAY -unrouted

should work the same as for all other layers.

Could you please check whether there is an alias defined that

is named unrouted?

Thanks for the hint -- I did have an alias called Unrouted_Only, and

deleting it fixed the problem.  Didn't realize that abbreviations

applied to user alias names, or that they took precedence over the

built-in names.
