Hole in stencil layer

autodeskguest

Hello,

I have to provide a gerber file for stencil manufacturer house.

In the brd view I created a layer named "stencil" where I defined the

contour of the stencil. Then from CAM processor it's easy to add the

aperture from the cream layer(s).

 

I also need to add some hole for the SMT stencil printer.

These holes should be present only on the stencil gerber file, and not

in the PCB ones (they are outside the PCB of course).

 

Is there a convenient way to handle this?

I wouldn't create a second brd file just to add the holes...

    Hello Marco,

     

    I hope you're doing well. The easiest solution would be to draw a filled

    in circle on the stencil layer. Click the circle command, set the width

    to zero(this will make it fill).

     

    Let me know if there's anything else I can do for you.

     

    Best Regards,
