Creating a stencil file without vias?

Former Member

 

Hi,

 

How do I create a stencil file which does not contain vias?  I have an

Eagle  Cad board  design.   I would  like  to process  a  cam file  to

generate an output stencil file.

 

Thanks for any suggestions.

    There is a drc setting for a via diameter limit wich masks vias below the

    chosen diameter.

    There is a drc setting for a via diameter limit wich masks vias below the

    chosen diameter.

     

    Just as addendum:

    The limit value refers to the drill diameter of the via.

    If I run the  gerb274x.cam job and Add a job (tab)  with just the Pads

    layer  (17) and  the tCream  layer (31),  I get  a result  which looks

    reasonable in gerbv for a  potential stencil.  Does that approach seem

    reasonable?  Or does it miss something that I am not aware of yet?

     

    Thanks,

     

    Marc

    That will plug all pins of through hole devices?
