Negative text on silkscreen

e14 Contributor

Hello everybody.

 

Is there  a way (perhaps a ULP) for creating negative text on

silkscreen ? I know it can be done by importing a .bmp file but

i wonder if there is a more elegant way.

 

Thanks

  • Hi guys,

     

    I wasn't able to make this ULP to work in Eagle v.6.1.0. Did you try your script with recent versions of Eagle? I  followed these instructions:

     

    -

    1. Open a new board

    2. Draw a polygon on the top layer

    3. Change to 8 mils the width of the polygon

    4. Choose the layer 41 (tRestrict) and write or draw what you want

    inside the polygon area

    5. Run negasilk.ulp (a script is generated)

     

    Now, you can:

    Either run the script in the final board on the layer of your choice  (21) or best, run the script in a library for using the result in the  board as a component

    -

     

    The scripts that the ULP generates contains only a couple of lines and

    not as many as the example that was inside the zip file. Do you know

    what could be causing the problem?

     

    Thank you.
