OrCAD 16.5 Extracting Gerber files.

Elixz

Hello all,

 

I've made a double layer pcb and I now have to get the gerber files so they can be send away.

The things i've seen about gerber files are a bit confusing to me.

Can some one give me some clear instructions about creating the different layers like TOP, BOTTOM, SILK_TOP ect.

I can't see YouTube movies because it is blocked here in my company.

 

Regrards,

 Tom 

  • Have a look at <your_install_dir\doc\algroman\algroman.pdf but the basics are set the display to look like what you need for your artwork (turn layers on/off to suit) the go to Manufacture Artwork - Film Parameters, select one of the artwork names and use RMB (right mouse button) Add and specify a name, the artwork name produced will match the display.

  • Dear Mr,Steve.

    I am make the .art File and I can see the all art File file after importing.

    Now, I am want make it Gerber data for the transforing the data.

    know us in which software .art file can be shown or how to convert it in ".gtd" file .

  •  The .art file can be read into any Gerber viewer (It is Gerber Data). Look at Manufacture - Artwork - General Parameters tab for the gerber types you can use. Most gerber viewers will read this. Take a look at GC-Prevue or CAM350 or Viewmate.

    If you want to change the file extension type look at Setup - User Preferences - File_management - Versioning and change the ext_artwork from art to gtd

    . 


  • we are getting error  when creating negative art file,
     
    we need its Image polarity for a negative etching. 
     
    ERROR: aborting film - Layer polarity of layer ETCH/TOP does not
               match film polarity of Negative. DRC may be unreliable,when going to create negative art file.
     
    What is the cause of its?
