Hi All Has anyone used the process PCB_SS:Import, it seems like you should be able to export to a spreadsheet, edit there and import it back, but I can't get working.
The reason I am interested is that that I would like to do do the following: Use a layer say Mechanical layer 4, where an outline and a designator for each component could be placed. The outline would be different from the Top Overlayer (silk screen) e.g.. a box around 0805 resistors and placed in the library with the components. My problem is to get the designators to be independent of the components and placed on Mechanical Layer 4. I would like to present documentation where I have a silk screen layer and a component placement layer independent of each other. Since PCBs are getting smaller and smaller I have no room silk screen around 0805, 0603, ... and no room for designators on SMT parts, but people like to have designators on connectors. What I do now is making a class for the connectors so I can select them and then switch the designators on and off on the SMT parts, when I make Gerber. best regards Soren Andersen * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * To post a message: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] * * To leave this list visit: * http://www.techservinc.com/protelusers/leave.html * * Contact the list manager: * mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] * * Forum Guidelines Rules: * http://www.techservinc.com/protelusers/forumrules.html * * Browse or Search previous postings: * http://www.mail-archive.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED] * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *
