Help with Printing

Former Member

Hello all,

 

I am new to Eagle Pro, it’s been a bit a lot of fun for an old timer such as myself to grasp using this program.

 

However I believe my circuit is ready for a trail run before it goes off to be printed.

I want to be able to print my PCB so I can put it through my printer and do a POC (proof of concept) before I go and get 1000 pcbs printed and have all of them either being correct or incorrect.

 

The issue i am having is that my single sided board, when i print to a PDF it is showing the name of the chips and points, is there away i can remove this for my POC so i can only print out the pads and traces.

As i know when the factory prints them this is ideal and i want to have them there.

But for a poc it will cause issues as i will be dropping it in etching solution using a toner method, and of course the titles of the chips as well as their outlines will interfere with this.

 

Thank you all

    Eagle is WYSIWYG. Just display (board display) the layers you want to

    see and only those will be printed. In your case perhaps layer 16, 17

    and 20 only.
