Latest Gerber Standard Support

tmd63

Hi,

Can anyone tell me if the latest version of Cadence supports the new gerber standard from Ucamco (formerly Barco ETS) called Gerber X2?

In 1998 Ucamco published the Extended Gerber Format Specification, also known as RS-274X. In 2014, they extended this format with attributes to provide the Gerber X2 format.

For more information on Gerber X2 visit the download page of www.ucamco.com.

Numberone Systems has already incorporated this standard into their software and I hope that Cadence has been keeping up with the latest gerber standards!

    Not yet. Cadence have introduced IPC2581 which hopefully going forward is a new standard that produces a single xml file export rather than multiple gerbers, drill files, placement files, BOM's etc. Take a look at www.ipc2581.com for more information. The more users that start asking for fabricators to support this the quicker it can become a better standard going forward.
