Cycle to Next Signal Layer
Applied Parameters: LayerName = NextSignal
Summary
This command is used to quickly switch to the next enabled signal layer.
Access
This command is accessed from the PCB Editor and PCB Library Editor, with the main workspace in focus, by using the * keyboard shortcut (on the numeric keypad).
Use
After launching the command, the next enabled signal layer will become the current layer, as distinguished by its associated layer tab becoming the active tab.
Use the command repeatedly to cycle forward (to the right among the layer tabs) through all enabled signal layers.
Tips
- The various signal layers in the design can be enabled/disabled from the Board Layers And Colors tab of the View Configurations dialog (when viewing the board in 2D).
- To set the current layer to a specific signal layer directly, click on the required signal layer tab, at the bottom of the main design window.
