    Hi,

    The 2D square grid on the left in Allegro PCB Editor represents different layers and objects for DRC/etch visualization. You can check Cadence’s official Allegro PCB documentation or tutorials, and the community forum you linked also has step-by-step explanations. There isn’t a single dedicated video for that menu, but searching for “Allegro PCB Editor 2D Array Layer View” on YouTube or Cadence Learning Portal can help.
