an eagle question

[Guest tvog]

ok first im a complete noob to everything electronically :)

but i want to make my own pcbs for my midibox , so i need to use eagle :)

ok i downloaded the brds from this website, but when i print them i always get both layers (upside and downside) on one page.. and i believe i should only have the downside printed?! so how do i do this?!

i hope i could make myself clear :)

and i hope someone can help a complete nooB! please! :)

thanks in advance

Hi tvog...

I'm in the same boat as you...

what u need to do is click on the layers buttons then hide all the layers bar the tracks layer...

I think they are layed out in reverse so once printed out and layed on top of the board (toner side down) they get exposed the right way and not back2front...

this confused me also. eagle application has a strange logic.

go to cam processor, select layout script job, export as .eps or .ps -> you get better format to work with.
