Save -> Reload the PCB layout is a common way to cure that, less drastic than deleting and re-building the power planes. This said, this is of course not what we want, and a lot of these bugs got fixed recently. What version of PCB are you using? If you feel able, building a version of PCB from CVS is a good way to get all the latest bug fixes. https://sourceforge.net/cvs/?group_id=73743 cvs -d:pserver:[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/cvsroot/pcb login When prompted for a password for anonymous, simply press the Enter key. cvs -z3 -d:pserver:[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/cvsroot/pcb co -P PCB > Now, I'm just curious cose Delorie said that I can disable the layer > so (I understood) it won't be rendered at output time time even if it > got things drawn on it. > > However, I don't seem to be able to achieve it.

No, clicking on the name in the layer stack doesn't prevent it from being output, it prevents it from being rendered on-screen. You might wish to print to separate .ps files, then re-join the ones you want with something like "psjoin" (or other various scripts you can find with Google).
