For reasons that Mr. Harland noted, this can be tricky. I would set up such documentation by importing gerber data back into the board. It's quick and easy to do -- sometimes I would use an empty board as a workspace to put it together and then copy and paste it into my mail board file. That is, I might have, on one side of my workspace, a top assembly. Then, to the right of it, a bottom assembly, mirrored. The latter is entirely a pile of free primitives, brought in from the gerber of the appropriate layers, mirrored. Text is drawn with lines, as in gerber. I would normally want pads there, to show how the assembly legend and component positions correlate with them. But it has no components in it. (There is no problem mirroring free, non-text primitives.) ____________________________________________________________ You are subscribed to the PEDA discussion forum To Post messages: mailto:[email protected] Unsubscribe and Other Options: http://techservinc.com/mailman/listinfo/peda_techservinc.com Browse or Search Old Archives (2001-2004): http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected] Browse or Search Current Archives (2004-Current): http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]
