Help making a label file.

ulao

Working with a new factory and I'm asked that I need to make a "label file" possibly they mean a silkscreen file? Last company got this info rom gerber information I think. Needless to say the new factory needs a image file showing the labels of components and artwork. How can I generate such a file.

    The people I use like to have a "placement diagram" (quite separate from

    the silkscreen Gerber, which may or may not include all the same

    information) - maybe that's what you mean? If so, what I usually do is

    print (to PDF if they want a file) from the board editor, having

    deselected all layers except tPlace, tNames, tDocu and Dimension. Then

    repeat for bottom if there are parts fitted on that side.

     

    Cheers,
