Wishlist: support for more than 32 copper layers
Description
The maximum number of copper layers that can be selected is 32, but some complex projects require more than 32 copper layers.
There are many projects drawn by Altium designer, and they could have above 32 layers of copper (32 signal + 16 plane = 48 coppers). Now want to migrate to kicad to redraw, but the signal + plane <= 32. If kicad support 32 signal + 32 plane = 64 coppers, then this problem solved.
Steps to reproduce
- Click Board Setup tool icon -> Board Stackup -> Board Editor Layers-> Copper layers
- Select the max layer count, it is 32.
