Allegro - Tip of the Week: Add/Remove Classes to/from the Visibility Pane

PCBTech
PCBTech over 3 years ago

Your most frequently used classes can be added to the Visibility pane by invoking the Color dialog > Visibility Pane tab. On this tab, drag, double-click, or use arrows from the Available classes section. In the example below, Via KO, Route KI and Constraint Region classes are appended to the Visibility pane header. They are abbreviated to conserve space. See them appear in the picture to the right.

If you do not leverage the Flowplan/Bundle features, you may wish to remove the Plan column. Following the steps provided above, select Plan for the Visible classes section and then click the down arrow to remove it.

    To add something to this tip, you can also include turning Shapes on/off via the Visibility Pane, so you get a Shp checkbox to tick/untick. To Set this:- Setup - User Preferences - unsupported and enable the shape_layer_visibility_env checkbox..
