Questions relating to designing PCBs
By pyrohaz

Hey guys,

I'm becoming quite confident at Eagle PCB design and have sent off multiple successful designs. I'm currently designing a PCB that isn't a standard square/rectangle. I'm going to get my PCBs made by PCBWing as I've had really good service from them in the past. What I'm wondering is how do I implement tab routes, V cuts and slots in eagle. I'm wanting to make a trapezoidally shaped PCB with 3 slots and 1 V-cut. How do I do this?

Any help on this would be really appreciated.

Thanks,
Harris

It really depends on what the manufacturer calls for. Usually you can create slots and the odd hole with the "dimension" layer (layer 20).

Thats a really useful link, thanks! I'll drop the manufacturer an email and see what they say.
