Hello Abacom

Try as I might, it doesn't work for me. When I click on the inner outline and select "cut out" in properties, it does not make any difference. The resultant Gerber files exported to JLCPCB show a solid board with no cut out.

Attached is a sample for an LED clock display bezel.

Thanks ...

I came across a neat front panel in PCB material (Gerber and drilling files), it had a cut out for a display and was finished with black solder resist and white lettering on the front, and plain tinned copper screening on the back. The files produced a very nice panel for little cost from JLCPCB ...

It is some time since the last update to Sprint Layout and there have been several “easy” updates that users request.

Being able to import logos to print on the silk screen layer should be straightforward. Similarly, being able to pick different fonts for text would be nice.

Being able to use ...

I am increasingly finding that I am having to create my own custom footprints for use in Sprint Layout. Not only is this frustrating and time consuming, it is error prone.

Components from the major suppliers, such as Mouser, have direct links to a huge footprint library at https://www.samacsys.com ...

That looks good, unfortunately the area in question is not a ground area, it is within a self drawn zone and connected to input +Ve with vias to a similar zone under the PCB (a high current copper area).

Thanks for the feedback.

It looks like this question has been asked before, without a good solution.

Can we have a new type of pad in an updated version 6? The type of pads are these, which I think were produced in KiCad:
