Copper plating on side edge of PCB using EAGLE

Community PCB Design

Hi,

I was wondering if anyone can point me in the right direction on how to get copper platting on the side edge of an PCB using EAGLE?

Would I have to edit the gerber files manually?

Thanks,

Warren

You will have to ask your board house if they have the capability.

Thanks for the quick reply.

If they did have the capability, how would I specify it in the layout?? Or do I just tell them where I want it to be plated?

Yeah, you will have to give them a ring or have an E-Mail conversation.

E-Mail would probably be best - send them your gerbers and a message about where you want plated, they will give you an answer.

So by edge you mean:

..----+
      |   <- edge
..----+

So, I’m curious, why do you want to do this?

Me too now…

OP, you didn’t mean edge-plated castellations did you?
