Turn on/off visibility features in the active layer

If you clicked on the link in the email notification, you'd have seen it's now in the PCB Design Forum. I might have put it in the PCB SKILL Forum, but I wasn't certain whether this needed SKILL or not - I am leaving it to those who are familiar with Allegro SIP to determine that.

if u would like pins and vias on top layer, u can use the following funckey:

funckey 1 "QtSignal ColorVisibilityPane CVPGlobalVisOff clicked;QtSignal CVPLayerGrid CVPBoxAllTop clicked true; QtSignal CVPLayerGrid CVPButtonPlanTop clicked; QtSignal CVPLayerGrid CVPButtonDrcTop clicked; QtSignal CVPLayerGrid CVPButtonCondTop clicked"

pressing the key "1" lets u only pins and vias visible on top layer.

Hello masamasa,

I thought of doing that before but the thing about the "CVPButtonPlanTop" that you have to specify the layer. Which means I am going to have so many funckeys. I wanted to change the "top" to the active layer. That way I only have few bindkeys instead of so many

I have aliases defined in my env that might help you, shown below:

alias alt     '(axlSetActiveLayer "etch/top")'

alias alb     '(axlSetActiveLayer "etch/bottom")'

alias vte     '((axlVisibleLayer "etch/top" t)(axlVisibleLayer "pin/top" t)(axlVisibleLayer "via class/top" t)(axlVisibleLayer "drc error class/top" t)(axlVisibleUpdate t))'

alias vbe     '((axlVisibleLayer "etch/bottom" t)(axlVisibleLayer "pin/bottom" t)(axlVisibleLayer "via class/bottom" t)(axlVisibleLayer "drc error class/bottom" t)(axlVisibleUpdate t))'

Hello David,

Thank you. I just tested, it is not exactly what I am looking for. Sorry for not explaining myself well

Lets say I defined a bindkey alt for the "Cond" in the visibility tab. if I click alt once it will make the cond visible and if I click alt again it will turn it off. In the case of the your alias that you provided, I am only able to turn it on but not off

Also, I want to be to apply the same concept above in the active layer I am in. Not only for the top and bottom. If I apply the alias you provide it, I have to repeat it 16 time in my env for the 16 layers I have in the design. 

Hopefully this make sense
