Tip for Week 3/6/06

 

Ever need to make up several layers that are not in the standard layer list from PostalCAD?

A simple trick is to place a comma, after the layer name is typed, to issue a return to the next line of entry.  This trick will only work after picking the NEW LAYER button.  If you double-click in an existing layer name to edit the text, an error will occur after you are done typing because the comma is an illegal character for layer names.

Don't forget that you can also highlight a layer before the NEW LAYER button is picked in order to use that layer as a template for the new layer.
