Artwork Generation

stellar
stellar over 15 years ago

Okay how do the pros set this up quickly? I find for each board it is a very tedious and painful process to get the correct folders set up and the classes and subclasses to get the silkscreen and soldermask and etch all setup.  I turn colors on and off in the workspace then add the folders and still find I work to do to get it all correct. In this regard I definately liked the simplicity of Layout but hope it's just operator ignorance.

    Allternatively you can use a Parameter file. Go to a board that has everything defined and use File - Export - Parameters, Make sure that at least Artwork is checked but there is also design settings, color layer and palette, text size and application / command parameters, export the file, then on your new board file use File - Import - Parameters, browse to the location and import, everything is defined.
