How to suppress unused layers?

autodeskguest

As I manually route a trace, I use the center mouse button to move from

layer to layer.  I only have two layers, though, and all the intervening

layers in the layer list get in the way, slowing down layer selection.  Is

there a way to turn them off, so I only have Top and Bottom visible?

Thanks.

    Please go to Edit/Design Rules, Layers tab.

    Change the current Layer Setup slightly and click the "Apply" button

    Now restore the original Setup - this would be (1*16) for a simple

    two layer board - and close the Design Rules window with "Ok".

    Now Top and Bottom should be displayed only in the menu.

     

     

    Alternative:

    Use the SET USED_LAYERS command to determine which layers should

    be displayed, for example:

     

      SET USED 1 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 32 44 45 46
