Pardon me for butting in here....

Is there any reason we don't set this to something like 64 or 128 in
the distributed program itself?

Not all users know how to edit a source file and recompile, and a
small limit like 16 can be viewed as a  misfeature.  Wouldn't it be
better to be able to clain "Out of the box PCB supports up to 128
layers..."?

just MO,

Stuart
