output of panelizer is completly grey #126
Comments
Hi, I wanted to ask which CAD Tool you were using. I used Eagle 9 and ran into the same problem but i was tinkering around today and create a cam file which worked and produced the desired output. I havent ordered it but at first glance it looks all OK. |
I used fusion 360 electronics. Which settings did you change? |
Im not familiar with Fusion 360 Electronic but since you have a eagle subscription included in fusion360 i would just go over to eagle ( You can link them together ) And use the .cam file i created to export the PCB. For Some reason it exported the Top silkscreen on the first Board fine but not on 2 other Boards I tested thats something i have to take a look into. Worked on the first board i tried it with. but not on the second, even though i havent changed anything. I attach you the .cam file for you to try out. PCBs without top silkscreen are still better than no pcbs ;) |
Thanks a lot for the help. |
Yeah im still figuring out why this occurs. It worked once but not on other PCBs. The PCB that worked had no through hole components.. I have to try with another SMD only Board. |
So i saw the the Author of this tool was writing about using Dirty PCBs ( A PCB Fab ) for his Projects. I used the CAM file they provide and it worked including the silkscreen. There is a warning from Eagle about a possible misalignment as this CAM uses a mix of old and new Formats and ignores the PCB STackup ( Which is unimportant though as we dont have controlled impedance with 2 layers which this tool only supports asfaik anyway ). I just threw a general look over it in ther Gerber Viwer and there isnt something i noticed that is completely wrong. Seems like the Author optimized for his usecase :-D Heres the CAM File: |
The latest downloadable build (2020) cannot process gerbers from KiCad 6, too - unless you disable aperture macros when plotting the gerbers. If you don't, it might result in exactly this kind of outcome as shown in the OP picture! Alternatively: install visual studio community edition with desktop C# support, download this repo as a ZIP, open the project as described in README, open the Panelizer subproject, then just press "Start", it will compile you a new Panelizer with proper support for things. |
Hi, im sorry if Im just doing something wrong because I have never done this but when I export my panelized pcbs the image is almost completely grey and even in a gerber-viewer it shows exactly the same.
