OK, i see the Failure, but i will explain the situation. 


Step by step:

1. create a new pcb.

2. Load a Jumper1 and place it to the board.

3. Take also some SMD-footprints an place it free over the board.

Now you wont draw a line in a (signal) middle layer, but the
SMD-Footprints are worry. Because this you make some layers invisible.

4. Now you make the pins/pads invisible. Or what?

But, you can not free draw the middle layer, because you have
collisions with footprints like Jumper1.
