Create PCB definition document

salomonreinach

Hi all, I would like to know if it's possible to generate that kind of document with Eagle : PCB definition. It's a document with the different layers in a PDF file. I joined a example of this document.

I'm using eagle 8.3.2.


Thanks for your help image

    Hi Rem,

     

    Maybe there are other (better) ways to do it, but personally if I had to do this, I'd create a custom job file (*.cam) using the CAM Processor, and select a suitable output format (e.g. EPS) and build up your custom job to generate the output as desired, for each sheet, automatically naming them (say) 1.eps, 2.eps and so on.

    Then, use a command line or script to combine them all together into a single PDF in the desired order (there are linux command lines using ghostscript that can do that, but probably many other ways too).

    When I was using Eagle (before the Autodesk eve) I have done something similar –with one of the scripts available on the Eagle site– to produce the circuits documentation: PCB layers + schematic + output from a CAM via an assembling script.

    Hello,

     

    The way to do this is to set up a CAM job similar to how shabaz suggests (but you don't need to select EPS output format or anything) for the info you need in your PDF and save it with a suitable filename then use the cam2print ULP (maybe this is what you were referring to balearicdynamics?) which ships with EAGLE to generate the PDF using that CAM job file. I think you need to run the commmand:

    run cam2print PDF

     

    It'll pop up a dialog where you can select your cam job file and then you can run it to generate your outputs.


    You are running 8.3.2 so this should work fine, but note that if you update to a more recent version of EAGLE then they changed CAM processor and the file format for the jobs totally changed, so create your CAM job in any version up to and including 8.5.2 and then you can use that in cam2print in the newer versions.

     

    Best Regards,

     

    Rachael

    Hi Rachael! Yes, it is image It's a while I no longer use Eagle but trust me, when I was writing this response I had you in mind.
