Layout PCB switching between layers, shortcuts

[christopher2KLSVU]

How to switch between the layers by shortcuts?

This is very basic function, in Eagle 9.x I could define some commands and then by pressing  for example F1, I have activated TOP layer and when F8 the Bottom layers. And all between respectively by Fx.

It were very long commands defined somewhere in Layer view. Here I do not see this. In some post from February Auto desk people written that it is currently not working.. but in the future..

Man it is like a car without steering wheel!

What is is Autodesk approach to effectively switch between the layers - no mouse sorry.

Hi @phaggren ,

Thank you very much for your help.

Could you please resent the video to me as the previous one is not related to this issue? Thanks.

Hi @christopher2KLSVU ,

Hope all is well.

A great news would like to share with you is that in the latest Fusion July release, we have implemented the shortcuts feature for Fusion Electronics. You could define the similar shortcuts you had in EAGLE in Fusion now (if the shortcuts are not occupied by other Fusion features). 

More info you could get from What's new post for July Release here:

Hope it helps.

Best regards,

And for the hotkey to hide/show panels not working issue, it should work now in latest Fusion build too.

Hope it helps.

Best regards,

Helen

Thanks Helen for letting me know. This sounds gIood. can verify it when I will create new revision of my PCB

It would be nice if it had backwards compatibility with the ASSIGN command. I have a large shortcut script file that would take forever to translate to the new modal window input method.
Also consider the fact that the online user manual still lists ASSIGN as a valid command and also the command line autocompletes ASSIGN.

Good morning,
At work, we bought Fusion 360 licenses to transition from Eagle.
Unfortunately the handling of the program is tragic, I can't find how to switch between PCB layers using shortcuts.
I see that the topic was rewritten five years ago something has changed ?
And one more thing why the program often stutters does not go smoothly ? I will only mention that I have a computer with the equipment recommended to support the program (I7-10700K CPU, RAM 32GB, RTX4070)....

Best regards 

Chris

Hello @cysiek_b ,

I hope you're doing well. So you can create shortcuts to switch between layers presets and turn layers on and off. Use the shortcuts command to set up the shortcuts you want to use. Combining shortcuts with layer presets can make it very easy to switch between different views of the 2D PCB.

Let me know if there's anything else I can do for you.

Best Regards,

I'm doing quite well, unfortunately the program with more elements on the diagram has breathlessness and crashes, this is unacceptable.
From cool Eagle has become a program that frustrates every user. I am waiting for the license to expire and say goodbye.... maybe see you when it improves, and there is much to improve....

Hi @cysiek_b ,

So sorry to hear about that there are crashes on your design.

Do you mind sharing with us the crash report ID that we could double check? We have fixed one specified crash issue on specified Mac OS about layers in the coming March release, want to double check whether this is the same case.

Or you could send your email address of your Fusion account to me in the private message directly, then I could search the report by myself. 

Much appreciated.

Hope you have a good day.

Best regards,

Helen
