Productivity Toolbox - Post Processing - ODB++ Generation

ersgfserg645

Hi,

I can export ODB++ from Allegro PCB Editor 25.1.

I would like to add ODB++ generation to the Post Processing output generation job, so that it is generated as part of the default output data.

How to achieve this?

Like this (timestamp 1:55, creating an ODB++ task and including a .scr file):

I can do that, but what is in the .scr file?

    Before you go to the effort of doing this take a look at Manufacture - Export to Manufacturing. This is a new command ( I think) in 25.1 Allegro and allows you to create a list of all the output files you want to generate. You can include gerber, ODB++, IPC2581, NC Drill, PDF's etc. When you run this all the files are generated and placed in a zip file.

    Thanks for pointing that out.

    It may not be the answer to the original question, but it makes the question obsolete from my side

    - I think that I will try and go with the Manufacture - Export to Manufacturing approach as it seems to be able to do what I want.

    You are right, that menu item is not there in 23.1 at least.

    Amazing that the transition from 23.1 to 25.1 apparently brings not only 1 but 2 new ways of doing the same thing.
