Hi all,
Can somebody tell me if protel SE 99 is able to display semi-transparent or translucent layers in the PCB editor ? And is there a quick way to hide/show layers ?
Thanks,
Ico

Ico, Yes you can display transparent layers. There is a checkbox somewhere on either the "O"ption, "P"reference menu or the "O"ptions, "B"oard menu. It may be on the Preferences - Display tab that can also be reached through "O"ptions, "D"isplay.
Turning layers on and off, it can be done with minor customizing and assigning processes to a button or hot-key (haven't done it myself for layers but it is quite simple to customize processes. Without writing scripts.) . To be efficient you would probably want to program keys or buttons to enable and disable multiple layers at one time. However what is cumbersome about O, L and clicking layers on and off, then hit Enter.

Thanks, found it. I just started doing PCB design a few days ago, so it's quite overwhelming finding all the options etc...
Not really cumbersome, but I'd like to have a few single keystrokes for just displaying only top- and bottom layers for example. I'll look into the customization, thanks for the help,
