.art Vs ODB++ and .txt netlist Vs .ipc netlist

Hello everyone,

I have still doubt about the differnce between .art files and ODB++ and .txt netlist to .ipc netlist. Which one is best for use? Have anyone known this? If so, please let me know in details. Any post will be appreciated.

Thanks,
Shiva.

    Hi,
    .art files are individual gerbers, ODB++ is a compiled format that includes all types of info like netlist...etc...
    A bare board manufacture can use gerbers but some of the assembly houses prefer the ODB++ format because it directly imports into Valor so they can run DFM / DFT on the PCB.
