Hi,

I have a question about how to change the layer of objects (copper traces). I have copper traces in the layer “Top Copper” and I want to change them all to “Bot Copper”.

Thanks  
Joseph

Hi Joseph,

Change layer of trace/s is not implemented yet.

But issue request was created ([https://github.com/LibrePCB/LibrePCB/issues/607](https://github.com/LibrePCB/LibrePCB/issues/607)).  
We need wait…

Ed.

OK, thank you for the information. So far, I have solved the problem by bulk renaming the layer in the board.lp file. But having this option right in the program is quite important, in my opinion.
