Missing data in the stephdr file from ODB++ export

DavidAhl

Hi all,

We have an AOI machine supplier who says the stephdr file in our ODB++ export is incorrect.

So my question is if it is possilbe to configure this somehow. The Valor export wizard is very basic in its options and getting a support account at siemens seems complicated...

In the exported ODB++ file i have a stephdr file containing the following data:

UNITS=MM
X_DATUM=0
Y_DATUM=0
X_ORIGIN=0
Y_ORIGIN=0
TOP_ACTIVE=0
BOTTOM_ACTIVE=0
RIGHT_ACTIVE=0
LEFT_ACTIVE=0
AFFECTING_BOM=
AFFECTING_BOM_CHANGED=0
ID=5

our AOI supplier however says the following data also should be included in the same file whitch it is not:

STEP-REPEAT {
NAME=stp
X=0
Y=0
DX=0
DY=300
NX=1
NY=2
ANGLE=0
MIRROR=0
}

hope there are some ODB++ experts around here, Im sure there are:)

Im using Orcad PCB Designer Professional 23.1 and panelizing with Fab Panelization tool.

best regards everyone!

    When running the File>Export>ODB++ Inside translator 

    on the first form are you setting the 'Show more options:'  to 'Yes' ?

    If so, on the next form are you setting the 'Use Panel Outline as profile:' to 'Yes' ?

    If so,  that changes the data extraction to include  PANEL/PANEL_OUTLINE to provide the step outline.

    I think if it finds data on that subclass what will enable the step&repeat data in the stephdr file.

    I am unable to verify this since I only have access to the 'tbx panelize' tool, not the Fab Panelization tool.
