![]() ![]() But generally the process I advise is this: I’m curious about the professional design steps/process of a panel for a new module, where the panel doesn’t already exist - maybe or anyone else who has experience here can chime in.įor the rack holes you can refer to this document here:įor the rest the thing is a bit more complex. In term of ways I’ve made PCB-based panels, there are a number of ways designed entirely by hand in KiCad/EAGLE in KiCad, just importing a DXF exported from Fusion onto the Edge Cuts layer using the magic (and hackiness) that is svg2shenzhen, which - as long as you use a not-latest version of Inkscape, and follow its instructions to the letter, will turn multi-layered SVGs to multi-layered panels. If you have a hole size or two you regularly use (eg for jacks, pots), making a footprint for them, and just dropping that into the panel might be your best bet. If you can use drills, do I often just do “add part” / “mounting hole” (of the appropriate size. But there are limits, and your fab house might let you know? Also, as points out, if you have a copper layer and want the inside of the hole plated, you must use a real drill directive. When I say more precise: I’ve been totally satisfied with, say, 3mm holes made as circles on the Edge Cuts layer. The later is more precise, and can go much smaller. a genuine ‘drill hole’ - which appears in the DRL file - will be drilled with a drillbit.a circle on the edge cuts layer will be milled out by a milling bit.Note that the different layers instruct the fab house to do something different: Some fabs have their own opinions about what they prefer, and might not like circles on Edge Cuts below a certain size some don’t like them at all IIRC many are fine with it.
