PRINTING IT ON THE PAPER:
In the Previous segment of this series of eagle post we had come uptil the eagle board
file of the circuit, Now in this post we will go through the steps to be followed before
we transfer this .brd file on a actual board.
1) open the board file we have designed and now we need to do some settings
before we actually print this on a paper.
2) Your .brd file would look something like this.
But if we take the print directly the components that are visible will also get printed
on the paper and thus will cause unnecessary shorts in the circuit.To prevent this we
need to eliminate the components from the brd file how do we do this???????
ANSWER:
{ I hope you remember the "LAYER" command i had explained in earlier post ,if
not just scroll up and read it out for your reference.}
Now open Layer command and then click on "none" and then "apply" Now you
would see that the entire brd has become empty.
Now select the following layers by clicking on the number adjacent to them,the
selected layer will be highlighted with a blue colour.
TOP
BOTTOM
PADS
VIAS
When you are done the final brd should look like this.
{don't worry about the warning i closed my schematic by mistake so the annotation is
not allowed,you may get it sometime so don't worry about it and again open the
schematic}
BLACK
SOLID
don't select other options and keep all other field as in the photo.
{Remember to set the paper to A4 size and the scaling factor to 1 other wise the
component wont fit on the PCB.}
2) Multiple PCB on single PAPER
In this method we can actually get multiple images on a paper of the
same circuit or even two different circuit this will be useful when you are printing a
number of circuit as it will save the number of pages required .
follow the below steps:
1. EXPORT
2. IMAGE
3. GIVE A NAME AND SET THE RESOLUTION AND SELECT
MONOCHROME
{Before exporting the image set the background to white so that you don't get a
inverted image,To do this follow this steps:
"option"--->"user-interface"--->"Background"--->"White" }
4) Now copy this image into a word file then set the paper to A4 size by placing a A4
size paper o the screen and then resize the image to required dimension.While resizing
see to it that the IC base is fitting or not by just placing it on the screen.
5)Now then Copy the image and then paste it as many time you want.
