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

  • Hello,

     

    The way to do this is to set up a CAM job similar to how 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 ?) 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.
