As I understand those are layer names for Altium Designer when a footprint is exported to it from Footprint Expert.

You can change the Layer Number to whatever you want. 

Do not change "eMechanical", just the layer number.

Hi All,

What are the names of all the Mechanical layers that FPX footprint expert generates?

Mechanical 1- Is this layer assembly layer or 3D component body?
Mechanical 11- Is this layer courtyard or keepout layer ?
Mechanical 12 - Is this layer board outline
Mechanical 13- ?
Mechanical 15 - ?
Mechanical 15 - ?
