Macros Sprint Layout 60 Top Fix

Use the component-outline layer to draw the physical boundary of the part. This helps avoid placing components too close to each other on the physical board.

This is where the "macros sprint layout 60 top" concept fully materializes. The top plate (sometimes called the "switch plate") is the rigid sheet that holds the switches from the top. In many keyboard designs, the plate is a separate piece, but you can design a "plate macro" in Sprint Layout. This macro would be an outline of the plate’s physical shape, complete with all the square cutouts for each switch. Designing this as a macro allows you to generate a file ready for laser cutting. You can easily generate a macro of your entire top plate by selecting the outlines of all switch holes on a mechanical layer and saving that selection as a single macro, ready for export to a CNC or laser cutter.
