Bug Description

(Searched, but unable to see if this is possible in current version).

I would be outstanding to be able to isolate layers for viewing. This is a standard feature in Altium, and it makes routing certain areas of the board easier.

Basically, an option to "View Selected Layer Only" in the right-click menu with a corollary "View All Layers" to return to the normal high contrast mode.

I really wish I had this right now as I struggle with silkscreens and such.

Thanks!!!

Yes, I'd even wish to have user definable layer sets, where the layouter can activate his layer sets for e.g. all layers associated with top side, or tracks & pads only, etc.

I agree. The ability to turn off selected layers would be very nice. I started a board yesterday, and the first thing I did was create the outline. So now I have a drawing layer with dimensions that are always visible. I'd love to turn them off for a while.
