hi,
i accidentally clicked save colors after right clicking top layer in
post process setup. After that, when clicked preview for this layer,
it showed everything (not just top layer). Then i changed color setup
for top layer to show only background(in white) and Top layer (in
blue). Now it shows only top layer routs, but the problem is i cant
print the this layer. Nothing happens. This does not happen for other
layers.

What is wrong with this.
Your help is much appreciated.

Thanbk You.

Go back into the post process settings setup and click on preview. The
preview is what will print out for the Gerber plots. While in the
preview mode, click on the color spreadsheet button and disable layers
that you don't want for your Top Gerber layer. The two layer you will
want enabled are 'Default TOP' and 'Free Text (Global Layer)'. Go back
to the post process spreadsheet (I recommend clicking on Window|Post
Process), right-click on the Top layer and click on save colors. This
technique is how you control your Gerber output. It is in the manual.
