PcbDoc format files to PCB Gerber 274-X format files
Hi Friends! Hope everything goes well with you!
Because we need Gerber files during production, To Keep PCB file accuracy, it is generally suggested that our customers provide Gerber files ( Gerber 274-X format)because the data may be missing during the conversion process. Hope you can understand.
At the same time, I will also ask our engineering department to check your original document PCB files( PcbDoc format).
The following are the specific operations for converting PcbDoc format to Gerber 274-X format:
1. Files---Fabrication Output---Gerber files
2. In the pop-up [Gerber Setup] dialog box, select [Inches] for [Units], and select [*.gbr] for [Outputs: FileName.Extension].
3. Switch to the [Layers to plot] tab, select the [Select Used] option in the [Plot Layers] drop-down list, and then check the layer that needs to be output.
4. Switch to the [Advanced] tab, check the [Generate DRC Rules export file(.RUL)] checkbox, and then click the [Apply] button.
5. After getting the output preview, just close the preview.
6. No need to save, click the [Don't Save] button.
If you have any questions or need help, you can contact us at any time.Hope we have the opportunity to provide you with PCB production and assembly.
