[PCB_FORUM] Re: Text as void on plane layers?

Hey Austin,

 

If you have your planes set up as negative, the text will be a void in
the plane.

I do it this way, and always have a layer indicator (called "layertab")
on my boards.

They are format symbols, one or more for 4, 6, 8, 10 etc. layers.

 

Below is what my negative plane layer looks like for layer 2 of an 8
layer board.

Notice the blocks (drawn with lines) for layers 1 and 3-8.

You need the blocks to be able to see through the board to the other
inner layer numbers.

 

 

 

 

Let me know if you have any questions.

 

Gary

Subject: [PCB_FORUM] Text as void on plane layers?

 

Hi,

 

Can I do text as a void on a plane layer?  I have a layer indicator, and
on the signal layers, it's just text...but I want the plane layers to
view the text as a void of the plane, not in a through void.

 

Regards,

 

Austin
