Multilayer does not appear on Composite Drawing

tomaszciesla over 8 years ago

Hi all,

I've found another bug: Multilayer does not appear on Composite Drawing

Outputs -> Print -> Print Preview -> right click -> configuration -> leave only Multilayer

Hi Thomasz, just tested by drawing somes lines on the layer "Multi-Layer" and they came out on the print just fine. What have you drawn on that layer that isn't displaying?

Hi Peter,
Pads and vias are not present.

You will need to turn on the copper layer (for example) to see a pad. What type of output are you trying to generate, just a print of pads and vias? If so just through hole ones?

I want to generate the output with pads of the connectors (they are only through hole pads on the PCB), I've already done manual mechanical layer with holes.
It's a counter intuitive - when I go to single layer mode on the PCB on Multilayer all through hole pads are highlighted, so if single layer mode sees them that way why printing can't?

Thanks for explaining, it now makes sense what you are trying to achieve. I can also see that from an output printing perspective what size pads would multi-layer print because each layer on your connector could be a different size. How would it know to print top copper, solder mask etc. At present I cannot think of a way to generate the output you desire.
