Hello,
I wondered: is there a way to define a larger cut-out hole in a PCB?
My latest PCB has SMD tact switches on the front, behind polyester front
foil. The PCB also features an OLED display.
As the display is higher than the switch plungers, I wish to have it
'peek through' a routed rectangular hole in the PCB, but so far, I can't
find a way to define holes like this.
I tried defining the cut-out as an extra 'outline' rectangle within the
main PCB outline, but my PCB house (Eurocircuits) doesn't recognize it
as such -- at least not with their automated tools.
Has anyone dealt with this before, and if so, how was the cut-out
defined? Or is it a matter of defining the cut-out on a separate layer,
and telling my PCB house that this should be routed out?
Thanks in advance,
Best regards,
Richard Rasker
