See also LAYER
The DISPLAY command is used to choose the visible layers. As parameters,
the layer number and the layer name are allowed (even mixed). If the
parameter ALL is chosen, all layers become visible. If the parameter
NONE is used, all layers are switched off. For example:
DISPLAY NONE BOTTOM;
Following this command the Bottom layer is displayed.
If the layer name or the layer number includes a negative sign, it
will be filtered out. For example:
DISPLAY TOP -BOTTOM -3;
In this case the Top layer is displayed while the Bottom layer and
the layer with the number 3 are not shown on the screen.
Avoid layer names ALL and NONE as well as names starting with a "-".
If tPlace or bPlace is selected, t/bNames, t/bValues, t/bOrigins and t/bDocu are automatically selected, too.
Some commands (PAD, SMD, SIGNAL, ROUTE) automatically activate certain layers.
If t/bPlace is selected or deselected in the DISPLAY menu, the layers t/bNames, t/bValues, and t/bOrigins are selected or deselected, too. If Symbols is selected/deselected, the layers Names and Values are selected/deselected, too.
If the DISPLAY command is invoked without parameters, a dialog is presented which allows you to adjust all layer settings.
Selecting Objects
If you want to select certain objects or elements (e.g. with MOVE or DELETE) the corresponding layer must be visible. Elements can only be selected if the tOrigins (or bOrigins with mirrored elements) layer is visible!
