Using the inner layer for more than GND and VDD

Hello,

At first thanks for your always quick and useful help.

My question: with Eagle Standard, is it possible to use one of the inner layers for some other rutes too - at least for my second voltage VCC? If yes is there any description how to do it?

Best regards

Roland

Hi Roland,

the Standard Edition supports up to 6 layers. Layers 1, 2, 3, 14, 15, and 16.
You have to define the Layer Setup in the Design Rules, for a 4 layer board for example (1*2+15*16).
Now the inner layers are available and you can use them for signals and/or polygons.

Regards,
Richard

Hi Richard,
I use 4 layers already. At the moment the layers 2 and 3 are used ((1*2)+(3*16)) and defined as supply layers, 2 for VDD, 3 for GND.
Now I want to use the layer 2 for VDD (3,3V) and VCC (5V) and if possible for some wires too. Do I have to remove the flag 'supply layer' from layer 2?
How do I make sure (or at least can control) that the respecting vias lead to the correct layer 1-16, 1-2, 1-3....
In principe, what is the correct way to achieve this?
