Printed Wiring Card Cloning

Printed Wiring Card Cloning now has support for device drivers, PostScript, encapsulated PostScript, and Gerber RS-274-X drivers are available so far. The Gerber RS-274-X driver additionally generates a numerical control (NC) drill file for automated drilling, a bill of materials file to assist in materials procurement and inventory control, and a centroid (X-Y) file which includes the centroid data needed by automatic assembly (pick and place) machines.\

I recommend the use of GhostScript if you don’t have a PostScript printer for handling the PostScript output. Printed wiring card Cloning always generates a complete set of files for a specified driver. See the page about the Print action for additional information about the filenames. The control panel offers a number of options. Most of them are not available for Gerber output because it wouldn’t make sense especially in the process of car reverse aid circuit card Clone, for example, to scale the gerber output (you’d get an incorrectly made board!) The options are:

‘device’

‘rotate’

‘mirror’

‘color’

‘outline’

The top menu button selects from the available device drivers. Rotate layout 90 degrees counter-clockwise (default). Mirror layout before printing. Use this option depending on your production line.

Created colored output. All colors will be converted to black if this option is Inactive.

In the process of Clone 2 layer avr video pwb, add a board outline to the output file. The size is determined by the maximum  board size changeable from the sizes menu. The outline appears on the top and bottom sides of the board, but not on the internal layers.

An outline can be useful for determining where to shear the board from the panel, but be aware that it creates a copper line. Thus it has the potential to cause short circuits if you don’t leave enough room from your wiring to the board edge. Use a viewer to see what the output outline looks like if you want to know what it looks like.

Additional alignment targets are added to the output. The distances between the board outline is set by the resource alignment Distance. Alignment targets should only be used if you know for certain that you will be using them. YOURSELF. It is extremely unlikely that you will want to have alignment targets if you send gerber files to a commercial pcb manufacture to be made after reverse engineering PCB board gerber file.
