Raam
Raam over 13 years ago
Hi,
 
I have 8 layer PCB, in that I want to swap middle power layers L4-signal and L5-power plane.

Now I am using sub-drawing option to swap, but while loading the sub-drawing, some vias are missing and it is difficult for me.
 
If any special option is there ? please let me know. Thank you in Advance,Raam.

     Simple procedure I follow is

    * Create one  dummy layer.

     * Do edit change (shape & cline) Power plane content to dummy layer

    *  Do edit change (shape & cline) signal layer  content to power plane

    * Do edit change (shape & cline) dummy layer  content to  signal layer

    *Change the layer namings & delete the dummy layer
