gEDA-user: Re: Silly PCB question?

[Sergio Luiz Carmelo Barroso - posdoc <barroso@ifi.unicamp.br>]

Dear All,

Thanks for the answers.

Sorry, I am not sure if I understood what the layers are. I understand
that the board can have no more than two cooper faces (layers). At the
left side of the PCB screen I can see several buttons (Solder, Gnd-Sldr,
Vcc-Sldr, Component, GND-comp, Vcc-comp, unuesed, unuesed, etc.), but I
think I should see only two, if each button represents a layer (cooper 
face) of the board.

Also, when I "autoroute", I end with more than two colors of tracks.

Thanks and sorry for the silliness.

Best regards,

Sergio
