Figure 739:  The "Layer setting" panel

 

The Layer setting panel does not have a slide-out panel. All commands are directly visible and explained in the table below.

 

Command

Description

Layer setting DESIGN Normal

Layers are turned on and off, thawed and frozen in an optimal way for normal design use. This means that all layers are visible, with a few exceptions.

 

This is the layer setting that should be used for all normal design work.

 

All layers, with the exception of HIDE, KAB_HIDE, SYM_G and symbolic item designations, are turned on.

 

Conventional, fixed, item designations are shown, besides from what is described above. This means that the layers DESIG18 and DESIG25 are turned on and LABEL18 and LABEL25 are turned off.

 

Layer setting DESIGN Symbolic item designations

Layers are turned on and off, thawed and frozen in an optimal way for design with symbolic item designations.

 

All layers, with the exception of HIDE, KAB_HIDE, SYM_G and symbolic item designations, are turned on. This means that LABEL18 and LABEL25 are turned on, while DESIG18 and DESIG25 are turned off.

 

Toggle display mode for item designations

Each time the command is executed, the display mode is shifted between fixed and symbolic item designations.

 

In reality this means that either the layers DESIG18 and DESIG25 are turned on, and the layers LABEL18 and LABEL25 off, or the other way around.

 

Layer setting PLOT with cables

Layers are turned on and off, thawed and frozen in an optimal way for plotting with visible cables but invisible wire-numbers. Indexes are not shown.

 

This means that SYM_G is turned on, SYM_L is turned off. INDEX is turned off. HIDE is as always turned off.

 

Layer setting PLOT with wire-numbers and cables

Layers are turned on and off, thawed and frozen in an optimal way for plotting with visible cables and wire-numbers. Indexes are not shown.

 

This means that SYM_G is turned on, SYM_L is turned off. INDEX is turned off. HIDE is as always turned off.

 

Layer setting PLOT without wire-numbers and cables

Layers are turned on and off, thawed and frozen in an optimal way for plotting with invisible cables and wire-numbers. Indexes are not shown.

 

This means that SYM_G is turned on, SYM_L is turned off. INDEX is turned off. HIDE is as always turned off.

 

Layer setting PLOT with wire-numbers

Layers are turned on and off, thawed and frozen in an optimal way for plotting with invisible cables but visible wire-numbers. Indexes are not shown.

 

This means that SYM_G is turned on, SYM_L is turned off. INDEX is turned off. HIDE is as always turned off.
