Automatic Film Creation

vramanan
vramanan over 16 years ago

 Hi

This is a quick skill file I put together to make the life of designers little easier

Requirement: Create the Film definitions  quickly and make the films to consider plane and etch

 Now this will only do the etch layers

I am still working on the thought process how to customize the other layers like silk/paste/ mask/assembly and fab

But for now you can edit this to suite your needs

Please wait for further new revisions 

 

regards

Venkata

    Easy, but it will take some time.

    Make a series of "starter" boards with differing layers, and the FILM layers set. It's pretty easy. I do something like that because I almost always start from a prior board design. I simple import the new data, and go from there.

    You could start with a 4 layer boards, and all the film layers, then go 6 layer, 8 layer, etc. etc. Once you know the differing technologies your company designs to, you can generate more "starter" boards with differing layer stacks.

    Good day.
