Ground planes, Eagle, and Oshpark
2016-12-29 by Harvey White
I recently had Oshpark make a double sided plated through board with ground pours top and bottom. When the board came back, it did not have the ground pours. I think I know what happened. The board file had the ground pour, but this particular instance had not had the ratsnest command run recently. The pour polygons were there, but not filled in. I don't think Oshpark's visualization has a view without the solder mask, so it won't be obvious when you look at the board preview. So the rule seems to be to make sure you ratsnest the board before you upload the file, and do this with all layers showing. Harvey
