Mirror - Layout of PCB

autodeskguest
autodeskguest over 16 years ago

Hi,

 

To create Audio PCB consisting two PCB's  one for each channel.

Each channel will be on individual PCB , which will be mounted on heat sink

facing opposite, such that wiring pads are in same position(near to each

other)

 

Now I create one channel then Mirror the whole board using mirror-board.ulp

But this mirrors the also changes layers of  components, also inverts

routing layers, silk etc.

i.e inverts everything and also changes the layout to other side.

 

What I now do to get desired output (only change layout - mirrored layout),

after I run mirror-board.ulp

I  mirror each components , then rotate them in proper position,  then

rip-up nets then route again, change layer of polygon etc..

 

Purpose is to create another PCB with Mirror Layout (with out changing

layers),so that  when two PCB are placed opposite to each other, wiring pads

are at same place.

 

Is There any ULP  to this ?

 

 

Thanks

suds

    Mirror means to swap top and bottom side in a board.

    A real mirror is simply not possible because you would need "mirrored"

    components where in a DIP package row 1 to 4 ist exchanged with

    row 8 to 5 image

    Hi:

    why not mirroring using the cam processor?
