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.

     

    I've just tried negasilk in V6.2.0 and all seems to work correctly

    Maybe your problem is that you forget to run RATSNEST before to launch negasilk.ulp ?

     

    I have to add this:

    If you write a texte in the layer 41, you have to change the font to "vector" and check the Orphans

    in the polygon properties box.

    You can also reduce the width of the polygon for a best filling.
