The following pre-packaged resource, derived from this base command, is available:

Applied Parameters: LayerPairIndex=n|Mode=RightClick (where n is in the range 0 to 20)

Summary

This command is used to quickly configure the drill table object under the cursor to display only drill holes for the indicated layer-pair. This allows the designer to use a single drill table object to interrogate drill information for different layer pairings, during the design process, for multi-layer boards that use layer-pair drilling.

Access

This command is accessed from the PCB Editor by right-clicking over the required drill table and selecting the required layer-pair from the Drill Table sub-menu.

When there are more than 1 layer-pairs defined, the first entry on the menu will be Show All (LayerPairIndex=0). This allows you to present information for all drill holes in the design, as separate tables.

Use

After launching the command, the Drill Table will dynamically update to present only drill holes associated to the chosen layer-pair, or all drill holes if the Show All command is chosen.

Tips

Use of this command sets the chosen layer-pair in the Layer pairs to preview field, in the Drill Table dialog.
Selecting the Show All entry on the sub-menu is equivalent to setting the Layer pairs to preview field (in the Drill Table dialog) to All Layer Pairs (Separate Tables). If you want all information in a single table, this can be achieved through the Drill Table dialog only, by setting the Layer pairs to preview field to All Layer Pairs (Composite Table).
