Shown below on my four-layer pcb:
- rectangle keepouts on all four layers (such that I can see daylight through the PCB), and then:
- each of the four layers numbered (so I can see clearly when the boardshop screws up my stackup).
L2 and L3 are inverted GND plane layers. L1 and L4 are regular top and bot.
The no-copper rectangles are acheived by:
- rectangle on keepout layer affects L1 and L4, and...
- etch polygon on L2 and L3 cuts out the inverted layers OK.
But I can't get text on L2 and L3. What am I dpoing wrong?
