I use it for final checks on a board - for example, I turn on all layers and Single Layer mode and step through each layer, giving it an eye-over (use the + and - keys to step). Great for checking the soldermask layers, if you have primitives on it, etc...
Also, when routing dense boards it reduces clutter on the screen - turn on all your routing layers and no mess, no fuss! (Although it would be good to see the rat's nest sometimes...) Just use the +/- keys to flip through layers as you normally would. Geez, I sound like an Altium sales-person... :P There's plenty of other uses which I can't think of now - it becomes second nature after you've used it a bit... Well for me anyway...

Yep - that's Single Layer Mode - Shift+S VERY handy once you know it's there :) TC -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Peter Krause Sent: Wednesday, 14 December 2005 4:18 PM To: [email protected] Subject: [PEDA] I use to see all layers, but Now I dont ! Hi, Protel99SE I don't know what undocumented feature did it but I used to see all layers selected, ie Design, Options, Layers ticked the ones I want to see, however. All I see is each layer as I select the tab. (Or is the undocumented feature very, very, very late night user input error ??!!)
