python scripts/toggle_layer.py <layer> <datatype> [on|off]
on — make layer visibleoff — make layer invisibleExamples:
python scripts/toggle_layer.py 1 0 off # hide mesa layer
python scripts/toggle_layer.py 2 0 on # show metal layer
python scripts/toggle_layer.py 3 0 # toggle bonding pads
python scripts/show_only.py <layer1/dt1> [<layer2/dt2> ...]
Example:
python scripts/show_only.py 1/0 2/0 # show only mesa + metal, hide pads
The scripts use execute_script to manipulate pya.LayerProperties in the current LayoutView. Each layer properties entry has a visible attribute that controls display.
For custom display manipulation beyond these scripts, use execute_script directly:
tool_call("execute_script", code="""
lp_iter = _layout_view.begin_layers()
while not lp_iter.at_end():
lp = lp_iter.current()
lp.visible = (lp.source_layer == 1) # show only layer 1
_layout_view.set_layer_properties(lp_iter, lp)
lp_iter.next()

Fixes SVG files for KiCad PCB import by splitting compound paths with holes, correcting Illustrator DPI scale (72 to 96), and converting CSS styles to inline attributes.
Drives an open-source EDA flow from RTL to GDS with signoff checks (DRC, LVS, RCX) using OpenROAD, Yosys, KLayout, and OpenRCX for PPA iteration and flow diagnosis.
