Michael, I just checked an I find after I set the Bottom Overlay to lower than Bottom Layer in the drawing order, that the overlay is drawn under the copper *unless* the overlay is selected as the current layer, in which case it is drawn above all the copper layers. Interestingly, the bottom overlay is drawn *under* the top overlay regardless of which layer is active. The actual draw order is affected by: 1) The Layer Drawing Order set up in Tools-Preferences 2) Which layer is active 3) The layer associations (that is top copper, top overlay, top mask and top paste) are all associated. I suspect that not all the interactions are planned. This does seem to be an area that Protel could do some careful rationalization as the relationships are complex enough that the utility of the layer draw order dialog is somewhat compromised. I would like to thrash this around a little more so we can get some sort of agreement on what the bug(s) might be. > Another for the wish list- Final/Draft/Hidden should be set by layer >- not just by primitive type. Good idea, I would like that as well. But I am not maintaining the Wish List...
