silkscreen Help

Former Member

Hi To All

 

I Ordered PCB From PCB Wing And I received This Error Can Anyone help Me

How To Fix it I'm New To Eagle please  I Don't Reilly Know Where Are The

Settings Of the silkscreen

 

 

Some silk screen of your PCBs are too small and their lines are

too thin to print. They'll be printed blur.

 

We recommend that they at least to be composed of 4mil thick line;

at least 25mil high, the only way they can be clearly printed.

 

 

 

Thank You !!! image

    If you want a 25mil high character, and a 5 mil line width, then you

    want the ratio to be set to 5/25, or 20%.

     

     

    Matthew, I forgot to include one command to set the size.  BTW, 25mil is

    pretty small.  I generally use 50 mil.

     

    From the command line in the board window:

     

        DISPLAY tOrigins tNames tPlace

        DISPLAY bOrigins bNames bPlace

        GROUP all

        SMASH (>0 0)

        CHANGE FONT vector (>0 0)

          CHANGE SIZE 25mil (>0 0)

        CHANGE RATIO 20 (>0 0)

     

    Enjoy,

        - Chuck

    Eagle does not directly provide a way of setting the thickness of a

    line used in text.  But an /indirect/ method is available as the ration

    of line width to character height.

     

    Actually, it's the RATIO option of the CHANGE command.  Do HELP CHANGE.

     

    There is one gotcha to note about RATIO though.  This got me when I first

    started with Eagle.  Let's say you wanted 8mil line thickness and 75 mil

    text height.  You'd expect the ratio to be 75 / 8 = 0.11.  But no that will

    be way too small and the lines won't show up.  Incredibly, the RATIO

    subcommand parameter is actually in percent, even though that isn't

    specified anywhere!  Maybe this has been fixed in the documentation by now,

    but I had to discover this by trial and error, then went back and looked

    and found no mention of percent.
