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

  • Not mentioned so far is the use of display aliases

     

    Set the layers as you want them for one view.

    Then right click on the layer icon

    Give your view an alias name

    Repeat for the other view.

     

    In use, right click and select your alias

     

    This is explained in HELP > Find: ALIAS > DISPLAY> Parameter Aliases
