Toggling all layers associated with the Top or Bottom metal Layers

e14 Contributor

When the Layers window is opened, you have  NEW, CHANGE, DEL, ALL and NONE.

 

I recall that earlier editions would toggle all of the Top or Bottom layers associated with the metal layers when the Top or Bottom metal layers were toggled.

 

It would be nice to add 2 buttons to the "Layers Display",  such as  "All-TOP"  and  "All-BOT",  which would toggle any layer that starts with 't' or 'b'.

It is very time consuming to do this by hand when working with parts on both sides of a PCB,  sometimes hundreds of times per day.image

    So what you're really asking for is a quick way to select a certain group

    of layers to be displayed.  That is already available, and I do it

    routinely.  Create scripts for the configurations you want.  Then you can

    run the script simply by entering "scr " commands you use often to hot keys.
