Hi all, I have followed some thread in the mailing list archive about outline layer within pcb but...
So i have added a layer named "outline", i drawn a rectangle on it with 10mil line thickness, but now when i export as ps or even gerber, pcb doesn't take my outline specification into account. Instead it outputs a board as big as defined in the "PCB[..]" line stuff. Even the "disperse" function, place my components outside these limits. I'm using PCB version 20070912. Here is my file (this is an "empty" pcb, which i would like to use as a template, it defines the size of the board, a convenient screen size, and 4 vias that are used for screwing the boards), (i have removed lot of the initial layers because these boards will use only 2 layers): ------------------------------------------------------- # release: pcb 20070912 # date: Mon Nov 12 17:14:26 2007 # user: cgagneraud (Christian Gagneraud) # host: xxx.techworks.ie # To read pcb files, the pcb version (or the cvs source date) must be >= the file version FileVersion[20070407] PCB["Please go to Edit->Edit name of->layout" 629921 590551] Grid[1000.000000 0 0 1] Cursor[0 0 0.000000] PolyArea[200000000.000000] Thermal[0.500000] DRC[2000 2000 2000 1000 3150 3150] Flags("showdrc,nameonpcb,clearnew") Groups("1,c:2,s:3:4") Styles["Signal,2000,6000,3000,2000:Power,2500,6000,3000,2500:Fat,4000,8000,4000,2500:Skinny,1000,3000,1500,1000"] [ ...
