printing the dumbleator pcb files for board etching

Post by pedro »

Sorry this is a bit of a dumb question but I cant find the solution yet.

I want to print the dumbleator pcb templates so I can etch my boards but cant seem to print the layout file to 100percent.
I'm using mac osx 10.6.7.

the excellent layout in the d-Files section has the pictorial for the mechanical layout, the schematic and the pcbs - but prints extremely small.

does anyone have just the pcb's in a pdf format to I can print to correct size ?

sorry if I'm missing something really obvious here

You just have to adjust your printer scale to print it the size you want.

thanks Structo

maybe I'm missing something - but the graphic, schematic and Pcb templates are all embedded in the same document which default prints to one page format.

so to print just the pcb traces would require a very large multiplier ?
I can do this but just wondered if the pcb files were available separately anyway

No worries ,
