"See-through" layers with GC-Preview?

Jun 02, 2006 5 Replies

Hello to All,



Is there a way in GC-Preview to switch the color on layers to a "see-through" mesh?



I found only solid colors as options and that often makes it difficult to see where a via connects to. You have to turn the upper layer off and back on which gets old if done a lot.

This is something I wish a number of pcb packages would implement.

At least gcprevue Version 8 had an option to view in the layers in different styles, one of them was "mix colors". Haven't used gcprevue for times however, gerbv is much easier to use in my eyes.

Hello Uwe,

It sure lets you mix colors almost to the degree that paint stores do. But not any patterns AFAICT.

Hello Graham,

That doesn't exactly bring up my hopes here :-(

We did this once at a client by taking individual layers somehow and turning them into TIFF ? files that can be made transparent and overlaying them.
