Ok, thats a workaround. A bit complicated, you have to fiddle around with offsets. And you are always in the danger of having to take your printer apart to get rid of the sticky tape, which is jammed inside. > > It would be cool if pcb had an option for printing all the layers on > one postscript page though. Set all the layers to be at the solder side, and use the file vx7interface5.pcb.output_back.ps it contains all the copper. > But then how do you ask how much margin > to leave between each layer? ?? If you are using above method you don't have to stack layers. I agree it would be nice if PCB had a little better output possibilities. I once saw a program where you were able to move your output around on the output page just by dragging the image around; but I can't recall which one. Perhaps Corell Draw?? Could be nice to have such a feature, combined with some rulers it could enable you to make the exact spacing between 2 pcb layers, so one could make double sided pcb's just by wrapping the transfer foil around the edge of the board. No alignment needed. -- Vy 73 de OZ1GNN Christian Treldal
