Yes thats the same for windows. That button will open up some more options, one of which is "Silk Fill".

There should be an Icon labeled with XYZ a Green arrow pointing down to I/O. I attached a screen shot of the icons on the bottom left side of the form.

The export window for ODB++ says it is using version "7.5.0 R3". Can you direct me to where this check box would be?

I know a lot of you already send odb++ to fab instead of gerbers, but i just now started. I am still on the 1st one, so i have yet to see if any problems arise, but here are some advantages for those not aware: - There is only one file, and many fewer clicks to generate it. - Importing into ViewMate is faster. ViewMate is a free viewer. - IPC netlist is included. - Printing the drill file from ViewMate is much nicer (you see actual drill size) Some of these may be seen as just helping ViewMate, but that's what i use here. eric ----------------------------------------------------------- To subscribe/unsubscribe: Send a message to icu-pcb-forum-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with a subject of subscribe or unsubscribe To view the archives of this list please login at //www.freelists.org.
