Artwork control form

Carvey
Carvey over 16 years ago

Setting up above for artwork generation and recieve the following warning when I open up the above.

Database resolution exceeds the artwork output resolution.Some round off of coordinates may occur unless the number of decimal places for artwork is increased. Change format decimal places.

Design parameters;  units mills, accuracy 2

Artwork control form;  output inches, format decimal places 3

Change to what?

     Oops, i realize that "inch" is not the real term in artwork params: it is not inches but mills (why cadence writes inch here???)

    So 5 decimal place is enough.

    Integer 5: your design can be 9 inch long (or 9000 mills!)

     

    So 5 for integer and 5 for decimal should do the job.

    If your design is more than 9 inch long, increment accordingly integer. 

     

    And yes shape parameters should match with gerber parameters.
