Where is that menu function? I couldn't find a 'restore defaults' button, and since you quoted it, I'm assuming that's what the button actually says???
Are you talking about Tools/Preferences/Display/LayerDrawingOrder/Default ? If so, that doesn't do to me what it's doing to you. Maybe that's why it's hard for Protel to fix it; it's not consistent. If not, tell me how to get to that button and I'll push it! > -----Original Message----- > From: Frank Gilley [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > Sent: Tuesday, July 09, 2002 9:29 AM > To: Protel EDA Forum > Subject: Re: [PEDA] restore defaults in layer order display - don't do > it! > > > > >i just hit the 'restore defaults' button in layer display order dialog > >don't do it! > >all my mech layers disappeared except when they were current > > > >i had to go hack the ADVPCB*.ini file to put back all the 'new' mech > >layers > > > >Dennis Saputelli > > > Full-Bore Rant Is On: > I must say, this particular bug just flat out hacks me off.
