tapPurposeList

layout tapPurposeList string "list_of_any_valid_layer_purposes"

Description

Prioritizes the order in which tap cycles through layers. When you set Wire Auto Tap or Shape Auto Tap to on, and Select from Overlaps to off, the tap purpose list is used to prioritize the order in which layers are cycled through during tap. When Wire Auto Tap and Shape Auto Tap are set to off and Select from Overlaps is on, the Choose object to tap from form appears, so the Tap Purpose List is not considered.

The default is drawing.
