Fully working etchable pancake coil.
Still needs meta data.

Not that I know of, when saving in the parts editor, it updates the part in Fritzing.

btw, since the coil in on a copper layer, I don’t think it will be covered by the solder mask. I think it would need to be a trace for the solder mask to cover it. I don’t know if that is possible or not.

What are the coils for anyway?

Finally found it, i was searching for this message for a few hours.

So there is no option available like a an id of another tag to define a solder mask in xml?
or a solder mask layer?

Import into Fritzing, edit part and add Meta, and then export and it’s finished.

Yea, I hope my calculated induction value is close enough to the real world

I’m still thinking what to do with the solder mask issue. If I send this to a fab house then it would be silly if I have to DIY paint my own solder mask.

And I discovered a few more issues.
There is also no Drill data generated for any of the holes, or at least the drill file file is nearly empty…
And… there was another thing… can’t remember it right now.

All holes have to be in the copper groups.

Someone also worked out how to change the solder mask.
