How to access layer 50

Former Member
Former Member over 12 years ago

Hi,

 

I am trying to generate a IDF file using the generate_3d_data_v10.ulp and I keep getting an error. The error is that I do not have a board outline defined in layer 50. however when I go the board layout and create a polygon for my outline I cannot see layer 50 on my list of avialable layers. I only see layers 49, 51,52 at the end, layer 50 is absent.

 

Any ideas why its missing?

 

Thanks

    outline defined in layer 50. however when I go the board layout and

    create a polygon for my outline I cannot see layer 50 on my list of

    That's normal. its an unused layer

    Make it usable.

    In the package editor command line type

    LAYER 50 BoardDimension3D

     

    You then have  a layer 50 named "BoardDimension3D"

    Make the name whatever you like.

     

    There are other layers you will need to provide data into.

    Open the ULP in a text editor and reference the notes near the top.

    There is a link to a PDF you will need to read

     

    Good luck

    Warren
