#2 Let me choose a layer number

[Jiří Čejka]

Hi again,

this is a feature request. I notice that when the conversion make new PCB file converted objects are always inserted to Layer 1 (exact line is Layer(1 "Layer1") in generated PCB file). Please let me choose a different number by adding some extra cli parameter like -pcblayer # or -lnum # or something like that. While it is not a rule of thumb that generated PCB file is used as base of new design. It can be also imported using File -> Load layout to buffer like I do and then Layer 1 (usually called component) can be at the time of import full of other things that leads to unwanted overlaping and connections.

Thanks, Jiri

Done! Version 1.5.2 is now available. The new switch is -sol (for "set output layer").

[Jiří Čejka]

WOW, that was really fast. Thank you, it works like a charm!

[Gabriel Denk]

Good idea, I’ll add that.
