I agree, you can create a more professional look that way, the lettering sometimes looks kind of amateurish with a box around it in a copper area.
Would be super nice to be able to import a graphic as well. I know, these are not really essential functions, but after spending many hours upon hours designing a complex board, it is desirable to be able to put a few nice finishing touches on it. --Mike On Thursday 01 October 2009 4:33:59 am korpx wrote: > Is it possible to create "inverted" text in copper layers in PCBNEW? > > As far as I can see PCBNEW always creates a copper free rectangle around > the text and the letters are copper.
