Yeah, for the render tab, this seems to be what is indicated anyway. I 
guess this would also mean changes to all of the ElementVisible() things 
as well.

Still this doesnt really explain why the pads copper part is not 
disabled when the copper layer is disabled, the other parts for the pad 
is disabled with the layer setting. like the paste and mask layers.

The only difference I can think of is that the copper is a connectivity 
part, but I have been unable to find why this should interfere.
