Automate the generation of trace.png and cutout.png files
Matt Keeter wrote a Python script that opens up Eagle and exports a number of pngs using ImageMagick.
To get this script to run, use the following steps:
- Save eagle_png.py into the folder where you keep your .brd and .sch files
- Install ImageMagick
- Create a polygon over your .brd design on the Milling layer (number 46)
- Set the isolate value for the polygon to a number greater than 16, this will ensure there's enough black space for mods to generate toolpaths in (see image below)
- Save your .brd file and close Eagle
- Run eagle_png using the following command
python eagle_png.py board_folder/board_name.brd - The script should have saved several .png files into the folder where the .brd file is
