Control what layers you see in the PCB editor.
Overview
In the 2D PCB editor, you choose which layers are visible, such as signal layers, silkscreen, solder mask, or copper fills.
Use layer visibility controls in the 2D PCB view.
Getting Started
To show or hide layers in the PCB editor:
Click the Layers icon in the lower-left corner of the canvas.
A panel will open showing all layers and metadata in your PCB stackup.
Use the eye icon to toggle visibility for each layer.
For layers with copper fills, use the paint drop icon to toggle the fill rendering.
Stackup areas
On a flex or rigid-flex board, the PCB editor shades each Stackup Area and shows its name and area stackup. To show or hide this overlay, open the View panel and use Stackup areas. See Flex and Rigid-Flex Boards.
What About 3D View?
The 3D PCB view provides a high-level, realistic visualization of your board:
What You Can Do in 3D View:
Rotate, pan, and zoom the board to inspect the overall geometry.
See stacked vias, components, and general board structure.
Visually confirm copper pours and silkscreen placement.
