Post by: cooldog on December 04, 2009, 09:56:07 AM

so i got a eagle board done. and i want to print it. it is two sided. how do u guys print it so that only the bottom layer is printed or only the top?

i tried changing viable layers but the boards came out different sizes.

Noway, unless you change the scale factor there is no way that gonna happen,
check the frame side of the two boards, if it's the same

Here's a tutorial I found for printing out Eagle boards, http://www.cnczone.com/forums/showthread.php?t=33374 (http://www.cnczone.com/forums/showthread.php?t=33374) a bit over complicated but it works just fine. I printed out two layers of a circuit following this tutorial and it came out the same size.

Each file represents a different part of the board. Just look up which ones represent the upper layer.

Or if you meant printing with a paper printer, just turn off the layers you don't want to see (in the top drop down menu).
