How to insert a background biptmap in Diptrace?
TERRA Operative:
I have a Tek PCB I'm currently replicating and I'm looking for a way to insert a background bitmap so I can use it to trace out the layout of the original PCB.
Is this sort of thing possible in Diptrace?
mcinque:
adding an image it's possible without problems using the image button (attached)
I neve tried to send it to a bottom layer to route over it
I'm not at the pc now but I'll try asap and make you know my results
MarkF:
Simple.
Just create a black-and-white image as a bmp or png file.
Then, add the image to your top or bottom silkscreen as @mcinque pointed out.
Be aware black will represent the image and white the transparent color.
mcinque:
Thanks MarkF :-+
TERRA Operative:
My image isn't black and white, it's a photo of a PCB so short of redrawing the PCB and component layout, to then re-redraw the layout in Diptrace, that method unfortunately won't work.
