Printing problem

pakistan

Hi,

I want to print a pcb design with drill holes visible, when I checked "display plated holes" and display non plated holes" and sent it for printing it shows all filled pads. I dont want to uncheck "filled pads" because it shows just outline of the pads.

actually I want to make single layer PCB by my own hand and I want to confirm drill thickness during drilling. can any one help me?

Thanks & Regards

    Hi,

    To do this you need to use 16.2, also make sure to color your drill holes inside the color dialog.

    Best regards,

    Ole

    Correct, this functionality has been added to 16.2.  There was another thread started a couple months back which discussed this and there are alternatives if you are not using 16.2 yet. 

    See the following thread for more information:

    I have 16.0 :-(

    I have found an skill file which can convert cline to shape, like this is there any skill file which can copy pads in shapes if this is possible we can hide pins(just for printing) and then printing of drill holes can be possible.

    Hi,

    how can we print drill holes in 16.2ver.

    I want to get black & white print not color.

    Thanx & Regards.

    This can be changed under Plot Setup in Allegro (File > Plot Setup...)  Just change the Plot Method to "Black and White".

    Hope this helps,
