How to design a single sided PCB in expressPCB?I am bit confused about DIP. The component is shown on the same layer as copper but actually I want it to mount...
You're still getting the dots? I'm not sure but I think that if you turn them off (View -> Options -> Show Grid) then it doesn't print. I've made many boards...
Build all your components backwards - I.E. pin #1 of the dip is where pin #8 should be, etc. ( Discretes - rsistors and caps don't care). Then just route the...
Hi Chad, I ended up printing out the image with the grid pattern and later etched out the grid dots with a x-acto knife after my acid etch that were near...

Yes it is a problem. Simply drag the yellow boarders of your board so that they form a dot. The program will print the components but not the gray. Chad. ......

Do you think ExpressPCB will ever support multi-layer boards (4,6,8 layers) with internal thermal pads? I have done RF and Microwave board designs in the past...
Probably, ExpressPCb will not support more then 4 layers. If they do, their free software will be competing with OrCAD and Protel, which are well-established...
For those that are interested: There is another company that is similar to ExpressPCB, but instead of making PC boards, they make 3D objects. That is, they...
