Well, I did that, and my customer is going to laugh, but it's kind of cute. Thanks Gary. _____ From: Gary MacIndoe [mailto:gary.macindoe@xxxxxxx] Sent: Monday, September 20, 2004 1:11 PM To: icu-pcb-forum@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [PCB_FORUM] Re: negative text in positive plane Pat, I would either draw it on a reference layer with the line width you want (maybe 10 or 20 mils, depending on the size of text desired), or enter it as text on the reference layer with whatever "photoplot width" looks good. Do this on top of the positive plane where you want the text, then trace over the reference layer text as a void in the positive plane. A bit of work, but I can't think of any other way to do it.
