Hi all, Some help for a noob here please :) I want to be able to do two things: 1) I want a slot-like trace cutout of preffered length and shape on the pcb 2) I want to cut out piece of pcb on the edge...basically something like defining board shape..but it's not shape rather it's simple cut out. How can I do these two things..? |

Hi! I assume you will do the cutting with a cnc? Sent from my GT-I8260 using Tapatalk |

--- Quote ---1) I want a slot-like trace cutout of preffered length and shape on the pcb --- End quote --- This is normally more dependent on the the board fabricator than on the PCB editor.I would draw lines/shapes on the "routing" layer, using a width equal to my tool width. But most board fabs seems to want an outline of the actual slot, usually in the dimension layer, sometimes with a drill hole in a starting position. (The one time I tried to get slots (for a USB connector) done in a board, it didn't come out :-( ) Check your board vendor's web page for info on "internal milling." --- Quote ---2) I want to cut out piece of pcb on the edge --- End quote --- usually you can do that just by modifying the "dimension" layer - there is no reason that it has to be a rectangle. |
