Restrict/Delete Copper pour

Hi George,

You can create a polygon within another polygon and in it's properties set Polygon Pour to "cutout".

Best Regards,

Rachael

thanks i remembering asking it earlier too but i noticed that the doted lines of the polygon appear when i try to take print for etching. so i thought there could be a better of doing it. Like the tRestrict, that was not meant of it i guess.

Are you trying to print directly out of EAGLE for etching? If so I wouldn't do that, especially if it is giving you dotted lines on your cutouts! Use the CAM processor and export to gerber files and then open them using gerbv. You can then print them from there instead or export them to a different format if needed.

Best Regards,

Rachael

Hmmm CAM processor, well not sure how it works. I print from eagle to a transfer sheet  (http://www.ebay.com/itm/131749981665?_trksid=p2057872.m2749.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT)and use an iron to transfer the toner to the copper board. It worked earlier.

 

Talking about boards, does the thickness of copper on the board matter here probably not for the dc side but am concerned about the AC ? how much are available ? i got one of these (http://www.ebay.com/itm/131382284869?_trksid=p2057872.m2749.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT). would this be ok ?

Hello George,

I hope you're doing well. If you're going to be doing toner transfer

then you can use the cam2image.ulp to get high resolution images of your

board which will work better for the transfer sheet.

That ULP uses the CAM processor jobs to define what layers should be

included in what images. Go for the highest resolution you can to get to

most toner on the sheet.
