Hello,
This is my first posting here. I do not know if the mailing
list will automatically eMail me a reply. I have looked at the
mailing list commands and options I cannot find if and how I
may set if replies to me or others can be set.
I am new to PCB software, but have reasonable average
electronics skills over a number of years.
I have a simple and unique challenge I have tried many different
ways to figure out. I have done alot of internet searching,
looked at many tutorials, and tried using PCB based on
tutorials and my own exploring about PCB to find how I do this
simple and unique PCB.
I need to create a PCB that has a copper plane on top and
bottom of the PCB. That simple. No components. It is likely
via a third layer between the top and bottom copper planes I
will want traces out to holes I may make as solder tabs or us a
connector of some type. The reason for the trace connections
as a third layer is to ensure the traces do not short with the
aluminum parts metal part the PCB has to be mounted to directly
at each end of the PCB.
Then I will need to create a set of holes in the parallel
copper planes area whose sole purpose is to let air pass between
and not be a connection between the top and bottom copper
planes.
If I need to specify a PCB thickness then how I do so. So far
I have not been able to find a setting/preference for the PCB
thickness to do so.
The how to do the connector and/or solder tab is not critical
to the primary question. I will try to figure that out after I
have the most important part of the PCB as noted above done in
PCB.
I will need to do a second PCB, but it will have lots of
components on it. I would need to enter the schematic first of
curse. I suspect I will manage with the help examples I have
already read and will read again when I am ready to create a
PCB from the schematic.
If there is any missing part of the information to my core
question of copper planes on top/bottom and holes in the
copper plane that do not connect the top and bottom copper
planes feel free to ask or comment on.
