Yep - that too, however I should note that I found a bug with the '*'.

SOMETIMES (not always) if there are no conductive layers turned on, hitting
the '*' key will freeze Protel, forcing a restart. 
This doesn't make any difference if you are in Single Layer mode or not
however...

Also, by using *, only the conductive layers are stepped thru which is also
handy.

I use that all the time also.

I use it for final checks on a board - for example, I turn on all layers and
Single Layer mode and step through each layer, giving it an eye-over (use
the + and - keys to step). Great for checking the soldermask layers, if you
have primitives on it, etc...

Also, when routing dense boards it reduces clutter on the screen - turn on
all your routing layers and no mess, no fuss! (Although it would be good to
see the rat's nest sometimes...) Just use the +/- keys to flip through
layers as you normally would.

Geez, I sound like an Altium sales-person... :P

There's plenty of other uses which I can't think of now - it becomes second
nature after you've used it a bit... Well for me anyway...

Yep - that's Single Layer Mode - Shift+S

VERY handy once you know it's there :)

Hi,

 

Protel99SE

 

I don't know what undocumented feature did it but I used to see all layers
selected, ie

Design, Options, Layers ticked the ones I want to see, however.

 

All I see is each layer as I select the tab.

 

(Or is the undocumented feature very, very, very late night user input error
??!!)

 

All the best for the seasons
