[SOLVED] Swap layer tool inactive 7.0.6

[GlennS]

Hi, I saw a similar question that was closed through inactivity.
I have a 4 layer pcb, and I want to move all tracks from layer 3 to the bottom layer. If I select Edit, Swap Layers, the window that opens is completely inactive. You can click, double-click, any mouse button : nothing happens.
Is there something else that has to be activated for the tool to work ?
Thanks.

“Move items on” is a guide, no need to click.

Double click on the “To Layer” that matches the “Move items on”, then click on the small black arrow.
A selection window will open. Choose the “To layer” from this window.
In your case, the chart will now look like the below grab:

The chart now shows that F.Cu, In.1 & B.CU will remain the same, but In.2 will change to B.Cu.
Press OK.

Hi, and thanks! I had clicked pretty-much everywhere : except at the edge of the “To layer” lines… Doh!

All’s well, the tool works perfectly. Thankyou.
