RE: [Homebrew_PCBs] Ground Plane

2002-08-09 by High Tech

Hi John,
In PC logic's Circuit Layout you can draw a square or rectangle and fill it
with a cross hatch.
So you just draw your normal board then fill in the areas you want with the
cross hatch. Time consuming not automatic but at least you can do it.

Hi Gang,
        I was wondering if any of you have done a ground plane
on a board. When I mill boards I can use the surrounding copper
as a ground. With Eagle and other programs I can't find a way to
keep the extra copper around the traces. I know I can use the other
side of the board for a ground. I really wanted to stick with a
single sided boards.
                                          Regards

                                           John
