Accessing Layers The Layers tab of the Design Toolbox allows you to move through the
layers of your PCB design, and control their appearance.
To display the Layers tab, click the Layers tab in the Design Toolbox. The
tab appears, as shown in the figure below:
Layers with a check mark are displayed on the workspace. Layers with a
check mark in a grey box are displayed in the workspace, but are dimmed.
Layers with no check mark are not displayed in the workspace, but are
available to be used.
The highlighted layer is the active layer, that is, the one you are working
with.
Click the colored icons beside the checkboxes to control the layers’ colors.
