Reg:Negative Artwork in Allegro

Sakthivel

Hi,

   I am using Allegro PCB Editor. What is the meaning if we set the negative artwork while defining the cross section of layers (through setup-cross section). Is it mean that negative artwork is generated while gerbar file creation or else what ever we see on that layer will not come in  the actual PCB like Orcadlayout?

   Plane layers to be definied negative or postive Artwork? If we define as negative layer (through setup-crosssection)  is it mean that where ever we define the copper, won't come on real PCB and viceversa?

    

Thanks in advance,

 Regards,

Sakthivel

    Dear Sir,

    I am Sakthivel working as an Embedded Hardware Engineer. Since I am new to PCB Design I thought of asking some few basic questions. We are not following any standard for design of PCB’s (Since we don’t know what standard to follow). Is it necessary to follow any standards for PCB Design? I came across IPC Standard (Institute for packaging circuits). Shall we follow these standards for PCB Design for our PCB Design? How much will be the cost of these standards? How can I get these standards?

    Thanks & Regards,
