orcad layer preview problem

hi,
i've developed a PCB with two layers(top and bottom). after it is done,
when i try to preview the top layer, it shows the full PCB(all layers
plus components and all), not only the top layer tracks and pads. Other
layers work normally.

can anyone guess the problem?

Your starting template is most likely buggered. You need to read the
manual about controlling which layers are visible when doing previews.
It is not obvious.

In short, preview the layer. Use the colors spreadsheet to turn layers
on and off. You can use the colors spreadsheet to add additional
layers if needed. Go back to the Post Process spreadsheet (Window|Post
Process) and right click. On the drop down menu, select Save Colors.
When going back to the Post Process spreadsheet, do NOT use
Options|Post Process Settings or your color changes will be reset.
