How to write text on a PCB that brings up copper etching

David Baratheon
David Baratheon over 12 years ago

Hi everyone, I want to write text on a PCB so that when I make a gerber file and send it off for production, it will come back with text etched out of copper.

I am using Cadence Allegrro PCB designer version 16.6

 If anyone can provide an explanation on how to do this it will be great.

Also any links for some basic tutorials so I can learn how to use the software will be great.

Thanks and best wishes
