Single Side with wire link top layer ?

autodeskguest

Is there a way to get Eagle to auto route as a single sided pcb (one

layer) with straight wire links as the "top layer" ?

I can get single sided board easily enough by setting top layer to "N/A"

I have tried fiddling with the routing parameters to try and get the top

layer as straights only, but need to minimize no of "track" on the top

layer.

 

 

The closest that I can come at this point is to auto route single layer,

then manually go and add tracks and vias for the wire links - a painful

process.

 

Using 4.16r2.

 

Thanks in advance

    I do home etch from a laser printer using transparency paper (not the

    plastic clear stuff but some slightly cloudy paper designed specially

    for photo etching). Just print to the paper then expose the board

    against that in my UV box. I can get track widths down to .016" and gaps

    to 0.012" without any difficulty.

     

    If I want to go finer than that (or double sided or anything) I'll

    generate Gerbers and order a board from my friendly not-so-local PCB

    house - the cost is really quite reasonable and you get proper PTH with

    solder mask and silk screen.
