Ultiboard - changing layer order

Question, Is there a way to change the order of the copper layers easily? In one layout I have the inner layers done were the power layer is the next layer down or 2nd layer and the 3rd layer is the ground. Then in another file I have the opposite where the 2nd layer is ground and the 3rd is power. I want to merge the two layouts and there will be conflicts with these two inner layers. I would like to set up all my files so that the ground layer is layer 2 and the third layer is power as a standard format. Is there a way to change the files easily do this on the ones that do not have the proper layers for ground and power. I tried once and found I had to physically move my power and ground plans to the layers I wanted them to be and had a lot of tiding up to do with traces that also happen to be on those layers. Had a lot of issues finding and moving traces and trying to keep track of which I was moving and had to group them to off locations so they would not lay over traces on the layer I was moving them to. It was a mess. Seems like there should be a back door way to rename the layers to get them correctly be the right layers without physically having to move the traces and planes.

Hi,
You should not mess with the names of the layers...
The best way seems to copy all copper from on layer to another.
Proceed as follows:
-switch off all layers except layer Inner 1.
-select all copper + copper area's (incl powerplane)
-cut & paste that aside your board ouline
-In the properties, set these tracks and planes to the Inner 2 layer.
leave those next to your board.
Now select only Inner  layer 2.
select all copper tracks and area's that are within your board outline.
in the properties, set these to inner  layer 1.
Now you have moved all from inner2 to inner 1
Outside the board outline, select all copper from layer 2 (the ones that were copied and pasted)
Place these back and align them with the rest of  the copper.
For the powerplanes (not the copper area's) you might have to check the nets those are set to...
But i gues it won't be a problem...
Good luck

  • Can I change layer order in PDF?

    Acrobat 9 pro: I'm doing a complicated map with layers in PDF format. I found a merge command to merge layers, which is cool. But better option for me is to change layer order, and possibly create new folders within PDF. Is this possible with Acrobat 9 pro?

    You can't, but "sub level layers" don't exist in Acrobat. OCGs exist in a single stack, though their NAMES can be grouped in the sidebar panel to make it appear they're in multiple levels. InDesign can create groups like that, Illustrator cannot, and Acrobat can't create them via the UI - however the names in the sidebar are NOT required to match the layer stack in the file, either in order or structure. You can use JavaScript to build the OCGorder array, including any sub-levels you want, and store it in the file.
    See the Acrobat JavaScript documentation on the setOCGOrder() function for help and a simple example of populating the array. Groups are created by putting an array within an array, just like any other tree of data.

  • Changing layer order in iMovie

    Hello everyone
    I am creating a movie in imovie and am hoping to be able to change the layer order.
    I have a transparent logo (placed as picture in picture) that I want to sit on top of a text panel (I am using gradient white)
    It is currently sitting underneath the panel, and some of the gradient is appearing over top of my logo.
    Is this possible??
    Thanks a lot
    Natalie

    cuuuuute - Dachshund, or Dackel as we say in German!
    well, your logo isn't 'solid' enough:
    you see, in the red area? that's 'printed' onto the gradient.
    and: it has gradients itself ...
    demo time:
    (tried to be as close to your project as possible )
    as you can see in my logo: the lil' fella is semi-transparent - as your logo.
    in the video, for sure, this 'mixes' with the existing content in the video.
    it doesn't matter, in what order you staple the graphics.
    three options:
    avoid any semi-transparencies (the head of my guy is 'solid')
    or, you have to create a different layout.
    or, create your own title: compose in any graphic app (I'm using Pixelmator) your lower-thirds - not as convenient as the ready-mades in iMovie, but you are in complete control, what is blurry, what is transparent, what is where...

  • CS4 crashes when you try to change layer order, is this install problem?

    I am trying to install my version of ps cs4 onto my new macbook pro. The install goes well and everything works, except when you click on the layers to change the order photoshop will force quit. Is this an install problem, or is there an upgrade that I missed that is making this happen.
    Thanks,

    See if this helps:

    Also make sure photoshop is up to date (current version for cs4 is 11.02)

  • Change layer order by script

    I have a bunch of embedded movies that are controlled by
    hidden buttons. I would like to be able to adjust the stacking
    order or z-depth of the layers by scripts to solve a design
    problem. What I've ended up with is if you roll over button 3 the
    #3 movie zooms up to it's desired position on the screen and plays.
    If you then roll over button 1 the #3 movie continues to play until
    the end then zooms or scales down to it's place holder size while
    movie 1 is scaling up and moving into position to play. The problem
    is that Movie 3 is above Movie 1 so while 3 is continuing to the
    end and one is moving into position you can't see movie 1 because
    it's covered by movie 3 until movie 3 scales back down and moves to
    it's proper position.
    What I'd like to do is to force whatever movie I've currently
    over to move to the top layer. Something like:
    if (rollOver button1 ) {this movie on top} else {this movie
    in original order}
    Is this possible? Spent hours with the help files and
    searching tutorials with no success.

    use the swapDepths() method of movieclips to control the
    z-depth with actionscript.

  • Why is Illustrator changing layer order when I export?

    I have a relatively simple Illustrator file that consists of several scatter plot graphs. Each point is a filled circle with an outline which sits on top of an error bar. The elements are ordered correctly in Illustrator; the error bars are visible behind the circles. However, when I try to export to PNG, JPEG, BMP, or any other format, the order of the elements changes such that the error bars on are on top of the circles. I have tried several variations of grouping and ungrouping but nothing seems to help. When I save as EPS, the order is retained; when I try to export from EPS to PNG, the order is changed as described above. I have other similar AI files that don't have this problem. I have tried this on both CS5 and CS6. Overprinting is turned off, and none of the elements have any transparancy. Has anyone else experienced this problem, and does anyone have a possible solution?

    Thanks for your response Mylenium. I'm not knowingly using any blending effects. My raster effect settings are:
    Attached are two screenshots to illustrate my problem. The first shows the AI file open in Illustrator with the correct order, the second shows the result of exporting to PNG. Notice that the error bars are brought forward in order during export.
    Figure 1 (above): the AI file open in Illustrator with the correct order.
    Figure 2 (above): the PNG file after exporting. The export settings are as follows:
    Use Artboards (all)
    Resolution: High (300 dpi)
    Anti-aliasing: Type optimized (hinted)
    Not interlaced
    Background color: White
    I tried setting the raster effect setting resolution to be the same as the desired export resolution, but that did not solve the problem.
    Thanks again for your help!

  • Help: photoshop cs4 crashes when i drag a layer under or over another layer/try to change layer orde

    please help ! thanks

    What is the exact version and what’s your OS?
    What does the crash report state?
    Boilerplate-text:
    Are Photoshop and OS fully updated and have you performed the usual trouble-shooting routines (trashing prefs by pressing command-alt-shift/ctrl-alt-shift while starting Photoshop until the appropriate dialog appears after making sure all customized presets like Actions, Patterns, Brushes etc. have been saved and making a note of the Preferences you’ve changed, 3rd party plug-ins deactivation, system maintenance, cleaning caches, font validation, etc.)

  • Changing track order in Library

    I recently purchased 6 songs from the Bowie "Heroes" album from the iTunes Store. But looking at them in my iTunes Library, the title track had the wrong album information. It said it was from somebody's iMix, and had that person's photo in the artwork. It also had the wrong track number. (For the record, I never accessed this person's iMix, and was very careful about the order that I downloaded the songs.) I went to Get Info and changed everything about the song to the right information. But even though the album and track number is now listed correctly, the song still isn't in the right vertical order in my Library, and consequently, won't play in the right order of the original album. I know I can always make a playlist and change the order there, but I want it to display correctly in the main Library. After all, I didn't create this problem. Any suggestions?

    DVDAFTEREDIT (dvdafteredit.com) lets you get more under the hood if you want to clean things up more - helps but not needed.
    DVD SP has an abstraction layer which makes things easier to author, but may not be the most effective ccoding, though for many things it is ffine
    What I was sayng (borad stroke) is let's say you have a track that has a few scenes and you have a menu that targets scenes in the track or does a play all - the menu to select the scenes or play all would be best to be in the same VTS for thhat track
    If you have couple of tracks with the same set up (few scenes and play all) the menus for the respective tracks should be set up the same way

  • Changing Column Order

    When you add a new column to a table (after initial creation), how do you change the order of the columns to move the new column higher in the table?
    Thanks

    Mike,
    I'm assuming your talking about the DB layer, not having anything to do with ApEx. In that case, you can not change the "default" order of the columns. This will only prove to be an issue for perfectionists such as you and me ;) Your queries can always be rewritten to display the columns in the correct order.
    That being said, although I don't recommend this, there are ways to achieve what you want to do - BUT IT CAN BE DANGEROUS.
    Example:
    I have a table with columns a, b, c, and d. Later I need to add a new column and feel that it best belongs between c and d. I could create a column with the same datatype as d and populate it with an update statement. Then I update d to NULL, change the data type and name of the column to fit my new need, and populate it when ready.
    I don't recommend doing this because at the end of the day it's silly and you would have to take down access to the table while you work. Also, my example was super simple, real world examples will be more complex and require "temporary" columns to be created to hold data while moving others.
    Good luck.
    Regards,
    Dan

  • Changing the order of columns in a table

    Can anyone tell me how to change the order of column in a table.
    I want a new column to be added in a table in 2nd position.
    Is there any way out for it?

    1) Does this have something to do with security? If not, it really ought to be posted in a more appropriate forum (Database - General for example).
    2) Why? If you care about the order of columns in a table, you're almost certainly doing something wrong. You can control the order of columns in a view, however, so you can put a view layer on top of the table to present the columns in a friendly fashion.
    3) Not without recreating the table. You can use the DBMS_REDEFINITION package to recreate the table with zero or minimal downtime but behind the scenes, you're really just creating a new table, copying the data over, dropping the old table, and renaming the new table to use the old table's name. DBMS_REDEFINITION does some extra work to track changes so that the original table can be available until the last possible moment.

  • Changing the order for printing portfolio files in adobe acrobat 9 pro

    Does anyone know how to change the order for printing pdf files that are part of a portfolio in adobe acrobat 9 pro?  The documentation seems to say that it prints files alphabetically by filename rather than by the internal sort order.  This won't work for me. Any ideas? Thanks.

    Question1: No.
    Question2: No.

  • I copied a smart playlist to a regular playlist in order to change the order of the individual selections.  I then burned the regular playlist to a cd, but the cd burned it in alphabetical order as it appears on the smart playlist.

    I changed the order, then burned a cd but the cd copied the songs in the order of the smart playlist, which was alphabetical.  What am i doing wrong in this scenario, and is there a way to change the song order in a smart playlist?  I am a new MAC user.  Is this unique to the MAC format?

    I'm trying to figure out a way to make a playlist of songs I generally like from a very large library to fit on my iPod. The songs aren't rated, and I don't want to have a totally random selection chosen by a smart playlist.
    I usually make two playlists.
    One playlist with favorites I do want on the iPod and another smart playlist to fill the rest of the iPod. Just limit the size to th esize of the iPod minus wthe size of my iPod selection playlist.

  • How do I change the order of the fields in my pdf form?

    I am using pdf. form I made in Acrobat and distributing with Adobe FormsCentral.  We use a table format for our teachers to fill out their field trip schedules and therefore use many different fields.
    How can I change the order of the fields (not for tabbing, we figured that out)...so that when we receive our notification email, I can see the inforamtion in a specific order (Date, Time, School, Program, etc).
    We would also like this same order to appear in the "View Responses" table.  I know you can drag and drop the order in the table but we have over 100 fields and that is going to take a really long time.

    What do you mean by the "order they appear in the pdf structure"?  What is the "Pdf structure"? 
    thank you for your help... this is really upsetting, as I thought we finally found a solution with Adobe Forms : (
    We really need the fields to report back in a specific order and wouldn't have time to rearrange over 100 fields with every form that is submitted. We receive about 10-20 different forms a day (same form layout, just some of the fields will have to be prefilled depending on school/teacher reservation... so we have to name each form a different name, for each school).
    Thank you again and maybe one day they will change that.  Is there anyway to set it up in the web verison of Adobe FormsCentral to look similar to the table we have created?
