<fabricationnoterect />

Overview

The <fabricationnoterect /> element draws rectangular callouts on the fabrication layer. Use it to flag assembly keep-out zones, highlight areas that need manual inspection, or surround notes that should only appear on fabrication outputs. Fabrication rectangles will not appear on the silkscreen or schematic exports.

Basic Usage

The example below adds a fabrication note rectangle around a cluster of passives to highlight an assembly instruction. Because the element renders on the fabrication layer, it appears alongside <fabricationnotetext /> callouts in fabrication plots but stays off the silkscreen.

export default () => (
<board width="28mm" height="20mm">
  <resistor name="R1" resistance="1k" footprint="0603" pcbX={-6} pcbY={-2} />
  <capacitor name="C1" capacitance="1uF" footprint="0603" pcbX={-2} pcbY={2} />
  <fabricationnotetext
    text="Install last"
    pcbX={8}
    pcbY={0}
    anchorAlignment="left"
    fontSize="1.4mm"
  />
  <fabricationnoterect
    pcbX={2}
    pcbY={0}
    width={18}
    height={12}
    strokeWidth={0.3}
    color="#2563eb"
  />
</board>
)

Filled Callouts

Set isFilled to tint the region. Pair it with hasStroke={false} when you only want a filled highlight without an outline.

export default () => (
<board width="28mm" height="20mm">
  <fabricationnoterect
    pcbX={-6}
    pcbY={0}
    width={8}
    height={6}
    color="#f97316"
    isFilled
  />
  <fabricationnoterect
    pcbX={6}
    pcbY={0}
    width={8}
    height={6}
    color="#16a34a"
    isFilled
    hasStroke={false}
  />
</board>
)

Properties

Property	Type	Required	Default	Description
pcbX	length	Yes	–	X coordinate of the rectangle center on the PCB fabrication layer.
pcbY	length	Yes	–	Y coordinate of the rectangle center on the PCB fabrication layer.
width	length	Yes	–	Width of the rectangle.
height	length	Yes	–	Height of the rectangle.
strokeWidth	length	No	0.2mm	Outline thickness for the rectangle border.
color	string	No	"#000"	Hex color used when previewing the fabrication rectangle.
isFilled	boolean	No	false	When true, fills the rectangle with color.
hasStroke	boolean	No	true	Toggles the rectangle border.
isStrokeDashed	boolean	No	false	Renders the border with a dashed pattern.
layer	string	No	"fabrication"	Fabrication layer name to place the rectangle on.
pcbRelative	boolean	No	false	Interpret pcbX/pcbY relative to the parent group instead of the board origin.
relative	boolean	No	false	Applies relative positioning rules to both PCB and schematic coordinates within groups.

Tips

• Combine <fabricationnoterect /> with <fabricationnotetext /> to connect visual highlights with explicit instructions.
• Use isStrokeDashed to outline areas that require optional or future assembly steps.
• Keep fabrication rectangles off critical copper features—they are only for documentation and do not affect manufacturing clearances.
