Board Thickness

[jerrbitt]

In setting up your board dimensions, do you need to add the thickness of the carrier board to the project board's thickness? I know prior to designer 1.31, you did not need to do this but with the recent software upgrades, I wonder whether that has changed. Tips and tricks April 2008 has an excellent discussion of the use of carrier boards and sleds, but this was prior to 1.31.

Did do a search Jeff, albeit limited, and did not find what I was seeking.

One of the new features in Designer 1.131 is the ability to use the Cut-out tool even on sleds/carrier boards. To do this it makes use of the board thickness you set in Designer. So, I would suggest using the actual board thickness in Designer not the combined project board + sled/carrier thickness.
