I see the library has a number of layers used currently. But what about Component Placement Courtyards or Assembly detail layers? Surely these cannot all be put on the Documentation or Dimensions Layers? Do people create their own layers to allow for these new items? For example, the Mentor Graphics Footprint creator uses: Land Top Land Inner Inner Plane Antipad Inner Plane Thermal Land Bottom Solder Mask Top Solder Mask Bottom Paste Mask Top Silkscreen Top Assembly Top Assembly Bottom Courtyard 3D Body Outline Keepout Top Keepout Inner Keepout Bottom Component Environmental Goals Dimensions Pin Numbers
You can add as many new "Layer Types" as you like under Design Tech.
Then you can add as many new "non-electrical" layers as you like to include things like "Courtyard", "Assembly_Top", "Assembly_Bot" etc etc.
I don't think that there's a limit on the number of layer types you can specify and each can then be used on Top/Inner/Bottom layers etc. So you can in fact have as many layers as you like in EasyPC.

Thank you. Does the Design Tech get transferred when updating the revision (can Design Tech from V24 transfer to V25 etc)?
