Since a PCB layout is done after the circuit is designed, the drawing of it doesn't need to include actual connections between the layers. In fact, holes and plate-throughs are actually specified in separate files from the trace layout. Anyway, what you are looking to accomplish could be partially accomplished by allowing objects on one layer to connect to objects on another layer. A fuller accomplishment would be achieved by putting references to the original object on each layer you want the object to reside on, rather than reworking Dia's layers. _______________________________________________ dia-list mailing list [email protected] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/dia-list FAQ at http://live.gnome.org/Dia/Faq Main page at http://live.gnome.org/Dia
