re-touch:More than 16 layers

autodeskguest
autodeskguest over 10 years ago

With the project I am working on, I'm starting to feel some pain about

the lack of more than 16 layers. I know I can most likely virtualize

some inner gnd-only layers (cloning the gerbers) but I'd like to ask

about the plans for this feature.

 

At the same time I know there are some challenges for the ones that work

with that many layers. First of all I'm thinking about polygon

processing speeds causing reluctance to do ratsnest until absolutely

necessary, but when doing power routing, it will need frequent fill

tests, but even doing ratsnest on a single net takes time. I wish this

function became more "live", so airwires would appeare instantly as you

place a via. My gut feeling as a programmer is that this is possbile to

speed up alot.

    Currently we have no fixed plans for this. But we already put your

    request into our bugzilla system as a possible feature for V8.
