Layer Table and Defining Layers - LAB

Refer to the layer definitions in the Readme text file in the Gerber file directory for the correct layer Types.


Assign Draw and Flash colors. Then exit the menu.




Experiment

• Can you figure out what the file types are by looking at the layers?

• What happens to the colors in the Layer Bar?

• Can you change the layer names?

• Turn off all but two layers. Set one of the layers to Ref using the status button. 

           What happens when you redraw the display? 

• What happens if you try to select an object on the REF layer? 

           (Use Edit/Move or Copy as a selection device).
