Re: gEDA-user: pcb layer groups

Hey all,

Is there any way to make PCB to show individual layers in a layer group? If I
define a layer group, and I click on it on the left side, all others are
showed or hidden.



It's a bad idea to hide them individually since they are on the same layer of copper, thus the program prohibits it. With that said, if you really want to look at it this way you can edit the layer groups to make the layers independent (temporarily) which of course could also change the connectivity but usually doesn't for most of the ways people use layer grouping. [Even if it does change the connectivity that doesn't matter except if you want to use netlists, rats, find connections or DRC while not viewing the other layers in the group]. When you're done looking at them separately, simply re-group them in the layer group dialog.
