Setting Favorite Layers
You can assign shortcuts for up to ten layers using the Favorite layers tab.
These shortcuts can then be used to make a layer active. The active layer is
the layer where any new elements will be placed, or where any deletions
will be made.
Complete the following steps to assign shortcut numbers to layers:
1.
Click on the Favorite layers tab.
2.
Select the desired layer from the drop-down list beside each layer
number. For example, you may wish to assign Layer 2 to the
Copper Bottom layer.
3.
Click OK.
To make a layer active, press <Ctrl-Alt-layer number> on your keyboard.
The layer becomes active and is highlighted in the Layers tab of the Design
Toolbox.
In the above example, pressing <Ctrl-Alt-2> on your keyboard makes the
Copper Bottom layer active.
