Hallo gentlemen,

I'm new to Pulsonix, and on my 2nd workday I already have a - maybe silly - question:

How can I make the PCB layers transparent?

My SW version is 8.0

I know what you mean by transparent -- but I might ask "how" or "when".

There's an opacity setting on (o)ptions under Display.

It's a slider bar for controlling "Translucent Copper".

Take a look at that first and let us know if there's more you'd like.

Hmmm ... well ... Excuse me, I do not find such a menu on the screen.
Since I cannot attach a JPEG into my comment, I have uploaded a screenshot here:

Oooh, I have found the (o) button on the keyboard :-))
The setting works, but only for the copper pour. Is it possible to make the tracks and pads also translucent?

Aha, they call it "Merge colors". That's what I want. Thanks for the help!

That's why I asked "where and when" -- there's a couple settings and I thought I'd start you with that.

But you found it -- excellent!

Cheers,
