Can't set hole color for composite print
« on: January 20, 2015, 03:51:33 am »
I'm trying to generate a composite print for my board so that I can print it out to scale and see if the components fit.

Problem is the pad holes are always a dark blue color so it's hard to see against the gray pad color. No problem just change the hole color to white which is what I used to do in 99SE. Errrrr there is no color setting for the holes in the preferences like there was in 99SE. In fact half of the color settings that were available in 99SE are missing in the preferences  |O

Anyone know a work around ?

cheers

Is it not an available layer when you go into the print options and hit 'advanced' or whatever to see the color settings?

I've never had to change it, so...

Possible workaround: print copper layer (or even the final gerber if necessary) with holes relieved, so you get the same effect?
