Output Device

Device

Clicking on the button of the Device selector opens a list of all available output devices.

Scale

On devices that can scale the output you can enter a scaling factor in this field. Values larger than 1 will produce an enlarged output, values smaller than 1 will shrink the output.

You can limit the size of the output to a given number of pages by entering a negative number in the Scale field. In that case the default scale factor will be 1.0 and will be decreased until the drawing just fits on the given number of pages. For example, entering "-2" into this field will produce a drawing that does not exceed two pages. Please note that for this mechanism to work you will have to make sure that the page width and height is set according to your output device. This setting can be adjusted in the Width and Height fields or by editing the file eagle.def.

File

You can either enter the name of the output file directly into this field, or click on the File button to open a dialog for the definition of the output file.
If you want to derive the output filename from the input data file, you can enter a partial filename (at least an extension, e.g. .gbr), in which case the rest of the filename will be taken from the input data filename.

Wheel

You can either enter the name of the aperture wheel file directly into this field, or click on the Wheel button to open a file dialog to select from.
If you want to derive the output filename from the input data file, you can enter a partial filename (at least an extension, e.g. .whl), in which case the rest of the filename will be taken from the input data filename.

Rack

You can either enter the name of the drill rack file directly into this field, or click on the Rack button to open a file dialog to select from.
If you want to derive the output filename from the input data file, you can enter a partial filename (at least an extension, e.g. .drl), in which case the rest of the filename will be taken from the input data filename. Some drill devices (like EXCELLON, for instance) can automatically generate the necessary drill definitions, in which case this field is not present.
