How do I poceed to make a single sided board (copper only on wiring side, no plated holes), but nevertheless use my footprint library which is made for multiple layers (that defines copper plated-holes and pins with copper pads on both sides)?
If I naively use my library and create a single-sided board, looking at the files exported to gerber, I end up with a component side which has all the copper pads, and with a long list in the plated-drill.cnc file, which is not really what I want. I am looking for a way - using my standard footprint library - to produce gerber files which do not have plated holes, and which have no copper on the component side. Can I control this in pcb - or is there an (ugly) way to achieve this playing around with the gerber files? Or is my intention a false desire for economy - should I better keep the pads on the component side and the plated holes? (considering that a pcb with solder sipping into the plated holes might represent a more reliable result?) _______________________________________________ geda-user mailing list geda-user@moria.seul.org http://www.seul.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/geda-user
