Working with the Layer Sets Manager

Create or modify custom layer sets. There are three types of layer sets:

• Read-only Layer Sets are predefined layer sets provided for convenient use.

• Custom Layer Sets are editable layer sets, with a few examples provided. Create layer sets to meet your workflow needs.

• Editable Layer Sets are predefined silkscreen layer sets to which you can add or subtract layers. The two layer sets, Top Silkscreen and Bottom Silkscreen contain only layers with visible content that displays in the CAM Preview and 3D PCB document. You can add layers to these sets and any visible objects in the added layers will display.

  Note: CAM Preview and CAM Processor are different tools and do not correspond one-to-one. CAM Processor templates define what is exported in a job.
