Re: [PEDA] Setup and Layer conventions

2004-05-20 Thread Nukien
Well, what with all the autorouter discussion, I guess this question kind of
got lost in the mix.

Would anyone care to comment on their standards, processes etc ?

 Hi All -

 I would be interested in hearing about your standard conventions when
 doing a design.  For example, do you use different colors for the nets on
 the schematic ?  In particular I'm interested in the conventions for pcb
 layout.  What do you use the various layers for ?  How do you arrange
things
 ?

 I know one guy who keeps every single different entity type on a different
 layer.  Designator, value, outline, dimensions, etc.  He then combines
them
 as needed in the gerber plots for each manufacturing layer.  While it
makes
 for some pretty documents, it seems like a lot of work ...
