Okay, but you are just moving the layer/object tags out to a separate file and process, the layers are still "tagged" so some extent somewhere. But I get your point. > At the design/edit level, that layer is a copper layer.

If those are incompatible sets then I have to deal with the failed DRC for one of them because I am asking the tool to do something that doesn't agree with with the DRC rules I have asked it to check, but I would still like to know that is what I'm doing.
