MAX_LAYER_COUNT *is* 16. You can bump the number of design layers from 8 to 16 just using menu options, you only need to recompile when you need more than 16 layers. What I was going to do was change the default number of *design* layers from 8 to 9. > Any reason why this doesn't come up as one of the default layers? > Heck, this change is simple enough that even I could do it! If I > submit a patch, will you apply it? :-) You'd have to apply it to gsch2pcb first ;-) In PCB, globalconst.h has MAX_LAYER as 16 and DEF_LAYER as 8. Just change DEF_LAYER to 9, and make sure src/main.c has appropriate defaults for the ninth layer. src/main.c is the place to default an "outline" layer, too. gsch2pcb probably needs a patch to default an "outline" layer. _______________________________________________ geda-dev mailing list [email protected] http://www.seul.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/geda-dev
