Layers

Now that we have traces on both sides of the board, the view can become pretty cluttered, making it difficult to determine if your traces on the bottom side of the board are overlapping or just look the way you intend. To see more clearly an element, click on View, then Layers. A window will open for you to adjust the colors of the individual layer components, such as the yellow top silk screen color or the red top trace color. To remove the view of the items cluttering the screen, just click on the check mark next to the item to remove it from view. When you want the items to return to view, simply reopen the screen and recheck the layers.

This is the view without the top layers cluttering the screen.
