How to generate black/while images of top and bottom layers to the exact size of the board from EagleCad?

unebonnevie

Hi,

 

I am able to export (more like print) from EagleCad into PDF format.

But seem not able to do one layer of the board at all time.

 

Any gerber tool that can let me do that to the exact size?

 

See the board images at http://www.harbaum.org/till/c64/index.shtml as

an example of what I am talking about.

 

Thanks.

    Eagle seems to have something like this built in, but of course you can

    always print to the Acrobat print driver to make a PDF of anything Eagle

    can print.  That's actually how I always make PDFs from Eagle.

    Of course it can.  It depends on what you have selected.

    I don't know.  If you want exact know size you can export a image from the

    board editor at any specific DPI you want.  If you know your printer is 600

    DPI, you can export a image at 600 DPI, then print it at 1:1 pixels.  If

    you want a single layer in black, set the foreground to white and set the

    color of that layer to black.
