Problem generating PDF of Assembly Drawing

jatins over 4 years ago

I am trying to export assembly drawing of my layout with Package Geometry>Ass Top and Components>Ref DES Options.

But i cannot manage to change the page layout to Landscape mode. I have tried several options including:

Print Preview> Layout. Nothing happens after i press Layout.

If i choose Print Preview> Print. Even after i choose Landscape Mode it prints out pdf in Portrait mode.

It has worked before well but after a hotfix update this issue started.

Hi

Update: Now i tried to make pdf with Export>pdf option.

And it only works with Assembly Top Layer. Not for Bottom Layer as there is no option for mirroring the display (as it was in Print Setup Option).

So this is controlled by the artwork film. Go to Export - Gerber and select the Bottom film name and then enable Film mirrored. This is then used on Gerber export and PDF export.

I have a similar problem. I am trying to export to pdf but I cannot obtain a black and white mode. Instead a grey scale image of layout is gotten. How I get a layout image in real black and white mode only?

There is a checkbox in the Export PDF form that will output the PDF in Black and White.
