Hi Mark,

We do something very similar - actually a component courtyard layer amongst others. I add this to every design that is opened through the allegro.ilinit file using the axlTriggerSet command.

i.e. Include the following lines in your ilinit file:
defun( myOpenAllegroTrigger (t_open)
let((layer)
 unless(cadddr(axlDMFileParts(axlGetDrawingName())) == "dra"
   foreach(pkgGeom, '("GLUESTENCIL", "DISPLAY")
     foreach(side, '("TOP", "BOTTOM")
       layer = strcat("PACKAGE GEOMETRY/", pkgGeom, "_", side)
       unless(axlIsLayer(layer), axlLayerCreateNonConductor(layer))
     )
   )
 )
))
axlTriggerSet('open 'myOpenAllegroTrigger)

Cheers, Dave

Hello all, We have a new layer in a library part called Gluestencil_Top. Since there is not a pre-defined layer named Gluestencil_Bottom, it does not display the bottom after mirror. We must first create a new layer "Package_Geometry=>Gluestencil_Bottom". Then either update the symbol (or) add a new part and mirror it to see the new layer.

Is there a way to get this user-defined layer into the Color Visibility without having to manually add it in every design from here on out? Every layer that has a _TOP and _BOTTOM will display the bottom when mirrored because the layer already exists.
Any suggestions out there?
I tried export / import tech file, but did not work.
Thanks,
Mark
