Dear Folks,
When I place a coupled stripline circuit component STLCPL2 (I was going through the differential pair example in Designer manual) in Ansoft Designer schematic windows, a dialog popped up asking whether or not to merge layers. Could anyone tell me what does it mean?
I looked through the User guide and online help but found no answer. My only background is under graduate EM/microwave class so I would like the answer to be as detail as possible. Specifically, I want to know
1. What is the purpose of merging layers?
2. In the differential pair example, if I choose merge layer, what is the consequences?
3. What does "flip source before merging" mean?
50 points will be donated for the 1st guy who answered the question satisfiably.
Thanks!

I don't use AD so this is not a definitive answer.... but typically with layout editors "merge layers" will combine polygons (on the same or different layers) that are connected or overlapping into a single polygon. This is usually done to clean up extraneous lines before exporting a layout in Gerber format.
Hope that helps!
