How do people generate layer stack-up files for PCB manufacturer?

Hello,

I am trying to generate stack-up information for PCB manufacturer, in a PDF format? Does PCB Designer have a function to do this?

Thanks for your help.

Yes - Add it to the cross section (Dielectric layer) above and below TOP and BOTTOM. Edit the materials.dat file located in <your_install_dir>\share\pcb\text and add a new dielectric material called SOLDERMASK, (best to copy an existing one). Then change the dielectric material in the cross section.

When you export it as ODB/IPC/Gerber, these don't have colors, only layers.

For layout display, it's under Manufacturing/NCDrillLegend using the color chooser.
