Changing layer with keybind

FilipSwe
FilipSwe over 3 years ago

Hi all,

I am quite new to this and I have been trying to find an answer but with no success.

I'm trying to make use of keybinds to change layer view.

I have put the following in my ENV file and it almost works:
funckey NUM3 "colorview load File: Bottom_All"

In the program i get the following:


What do I need to add/change to get it to work?

Using Cadence Allegro PCB editor 17.4.

Thanks in advance!

    Thank you! I also noticed that NUM3 made it fail for some reason. I will be using ~3 instead (Ctrl + numpad 3), found that in another post.
