I am currently using Zuken 2018 express. After i have completed my schematic i am getting an error of the following: 

" One or more component layres exceed the maximum number of physical layers in the design. Please use the layers option to increase the number of physical layers before trying again. 

I didnt understand what does it mean and how can i solve this? I am currently using the free version of zuken not so sure the error is becuase of free version. 

Was this Helpful?

  HI Ashokraj, I am assuming you are using CADSTAR Express 2018.  This looks like a mismatch between the number of layers defined in your library is greater than the number of layers in your PCB template.

  Does this occur when you perform the Transfer To PCB Operation?  If so, which PCB Technology did you select?

  You can check the layer counts in the design by going to the Library tab, clicking PCB Components and then click the Layer button.  This opens the Layer dialog.  In the Lower Right area, you will see the Physical Layers count.  See what the Maximum layer is.

  When you transfer the schematic to PCB, make sure you select a PCB technology that equals or exceeds the maximum layer number.
