如252118料号2，从99SE或98导出的文件，有些圆弧（如禁止布线层表示要打孔的圆弧等）会隐藏，放大才能看见（如245566料号就曾被投诉漏做安装孔），建议在高版本中查看。

3，和库里元器件一样名称的元器件编辑时会替换，导致孔径变掉。

如251519文件中的CON1和CON3元器件，建议制板时只留自己建的元件库，将软件自带的元件库删除。

4，不支持不规则八角形焊盘与大于6mm的规则八角形焊盘，可在GERBER文件生光栅时留意查看。

……一般PCB基本设计流程如下：前期准备->PCB结构设计->PCB布局->布线->布线优化和丝印->网络和DRC检查和结构检查->制版。

第一：前期准备。

这包括准备元件库和原理图。

Or "GERBER" describes the anti welding layer, and the description of the figure is mainly the anti welding part (that is, the cover ink part).Negative (NEGTIVE): GERBER description is a circuit layer, and the description of graphics is mainly copper parts. Or "GERBER" describes the anti welding layer, and the description of the figure is mainly non welding part (i.e., no ink part).Composite chip (COMPOSTIVE): the layers described by GERBER are synthesized from different polar layers.Usually, the excavation layer and the positive layer are superimposed.The polarity of excavation is C, mainly from line protection or additional process information.GERBER data is a file format that can be generated by all PCBCAD systems that can be processed by all optical plotters. The GERBER format is a subset of the EIA standard RS-274D. The extended GERBER format is a superset of EIA standard RS-274D format, also called RS-274X. RS-274X enhances handling of polygon fill, plus and minus combinations, custom D codes, and other functions. It also defines the rules for embedding an aperture table in the GERBER data file.The GERBER format file consists of a series of data blocks (parameters and code). Each block is separated by a block ending (EOB) symbol. The EOB character is usually an asterisk (*). According to the order in the file, the data blocks fall into the following two categories:1 RS-274X parameterDivided into the following groups in sequence:Prompt parameterAS coordinate selectionFS format descriptionMI mirror imageMO unitOF offsetSF scale factorImage parameterIJ image alignmentIN image nameIO image offsetIP image positive and negativeIR image rotationPF drawing film nameAperture parameterAD aperture descriptionAM aperture customLayer parameterKO excavationLN layer namePositive and negative of LP layer SR mobile and replicationmiscIF embedded file2 standard RS-274D codeIncluding a character function code, such as D code, G code, M code, and coordinate data. The coordinate data in X, Y format describes the linear position, and the I and J format describes the arc position.N Code: sequential code, named block order.

That is, where the solder and solder resist are produced, if the area is defined too large, the line or other conductive object near the pad will be exposed to the solder resist. Thus, in the process of processing, the bond plate and its vicinity metal wire are easy to form "bridging", causing short circuit phenomenon. Thus, the "Solder Bridges" phenomenon in production is usually caused by the improper definition of the mask data in the design stage and the CAD system is not found in time. Therefore, it is necessary to detect and repair "Solder Bridges" phenomenon quickly before processing.CAM350 not only can quickly find "Solder Bridge", but also can be repaired. Before processing to realize this function as long as the use of Analysis Find Solder Bridges to open the menu - > "Solder Bridging" dialog box.Tick in the "Top Check/Bottom Check" in front of a small box can choose only to detect surface or bottom detection or at the same time. In the following "Mask, Layer, Check, Against", select the correct layer, note that Soldermask_top corresponds to the Top layer; Soldermask_bottom corresponds to the Bottom layer. In Bridge Distance, enter the minimum tolerance bridge spacing. In the following "Search Area", select "Process Entire Layer" to indicate that the system will detect all layers currently open. If you choose "Window Area to Process", you would like to select a window first, and the system will detect the area of the window. After OK, the system will continue to be tested for some time. If an error is detected, a dialog boxis popped up. OK, the screen will jump to another edit window, and an information display / edit bar appears on the upper right.Here you can see all of the error specific locations, you can click on "All" to show all the errors, or you can select a error in the drop-down box, so you can query the specific location of the error.6.Check DrillThis function item is used to examine various problems in the drilling. For example, the distance between the hole and the hole is reasonable, whether or not there are two holes of the same size or different size in the same position.Analysis Check Drill Alalysis - > Drills, pop-up dialog box."Overlapped Drill Hits" can check whether there are two overlapping vias at the same location. "Coincident Drill Hits (Different Sizes)" can test whether there are two or more vias of the same size in the same location, but these vias are produced by different Tools. "Redundant Drill Hits (Same Size") can check whether or not there are two or more vias of the same size at the same location, but these vias are generated by the same Tool. "Drill, Hole, to, Drill, Hole, Clearance" can test whether the spacing between the holes meets certain rules. Next, select the layer you want to test in the Layers to Analyze.More than 7. of the DFM test the function can produce a report in the Info Report menu - > display test results. Such as Sliver,Report, Solder, Mask, Errors, Report, Silkscreen, Errors, Report, etc., and can be saved as a *.rpt file.If you have run the test function, just want to look at their specific location can be achieved by using Info - Find menu. You can also click directly in the dialog box of a menu item under Analysis.3. Copper Slivers"Copper Slivers" refers to those thin and narrow areas of copper that may easily fall off during production. This feature not only detects the narrow areas of copper deposits, but also the repair / trim function. Before you perform this operation, first open the relevant layers that you need to detect. Analysis - > Copper Slivers "Copper Slivers Detection" will pop up a dialog box.The first input can tolerate the minimum number of copper in the "Find Slivers Less than". In "Processing Control", you can choose "Fix Silvers" to repair the fine copper. Select "Remove Old Slivers" to eliminate the detection results that have been generated, such as "Mask Silvers"". In the following "Search Area", select "Process Entire Layer" to indicate that the system will detect all layers currently open. If you choose "Window Area to Process", you would like to select a window first, and the system will detect the area of the window. OK, detection system will continue to end time, finally pops up a message, if no error will show "Found no new Slivers". If you find errors will pop up an error message box, determine the screen will jump to another edit window. You can see all theexact locations here,You can click on "All" to display all the errors, or you can select a error in the drop down box so that you can query the exact location of the error.4.Mask Slivers"Mask Slivers" refers to those thin and narrow areas which are easily removed in the production process (commonly known as "green" solder barrier). Once the solder is removed, the solder is easily slid into the solder, causing undesirable results. This function can be detected and repaired before production, so as not to cause unnecessary consequences. Analysis, Mask Silvers, Mask Sliver Detection, a pop-up dialog box.The first input can tolerate the minimum number of copper in the "Find Slivers less than". In "Processing Control", you can choose "Fix Slivers" to repair the fine copper. Select "Remove Old Slivers" to cancel the previously detected results, such as "Mask Slivers"". In the following "Search Area", select "Process Entire Layre" to indicate that the system will detect all layers currently open. If you choose "Window Area to Process", you would like to select a window first, and the system will detect all layers currently open. After OK, the system will continue to be tested for a while and finally pop up a tooltip message. If there is no error, "Found no new Slivers" will be displayed". If an error is detected, a false dialog box is popped up. OK, the screen will jump to another edit window, and an information display / edit bar appears on the upper right. Here you can see all of the error specificlocations, you can click on "All" to show all the errors, or you can choose a error in the drop-down box, so you can query the specific location of the error.1., Silk, to, Solder, SpacingThis is the software to automatically test the screen printing layer and the spacing of the solder resist. Analysis Silk to Solder Spacing, "Check Silkscreen" dialog box will pop up.First, select the two layer you want to check, that is, Sildcreen_top/Soldermask_top, select both andSildcreen_bottom/Soldermask_bottom at the same time. Then enter the most tolerable spacing in the Clearance. The best tick in the "Remove Old Silkscreen Errors", to avoid confusion. After OK, the system performs the lookup, and at the bottom of the screen shows the "Silk to Sold Check" on the left: the percentage shown on the right shows a message box for error after execution. After "OK", the screen jumps to these two levels of information, and a display / edit bar is added to the top right of the screen. Here you can see all of the error specific locations, you can click on "All" to show all the errors, or you can choose a error in the drop-down box, so you can query the specific location of the error.2., Solder, Mask, to, Trace, SpacingIn general EDA software, defined as Solder Mask place, in fact, when the board is painted solder place. Where there is no Solder Mask, the solder is stopped when the board is made.In the process of welding solder to avoid disorderly flow caused between "pad lead bridge" short circuit main purpose of solder resist, ensure the quality of the installation, to provide electrical environment for a long time and anti chemical protection, forming printed circuit board coat".This command is when an implementation software automatically checks the line and Sold (solder) pitch function.Analysis Solder Mask to Trace - > Spacing, "Check Solder Mask" will pop up a dialog box.In this dialog, select the Electrical Layer and Solder Mask Layer two layers to check respectively. Select theTop/Soldermask_top layer at the same time, or check the Bottom/Soldermask_Bottom layer at the same time. Then enter the minimum tolerable spacing in the Clearance. The best tick in the "Remove Old Solder Mask Errors", to avoid confusion. After OK, the system performs the lookup. At this time, the bottom of the screen shows the "Solder to Trace Check": the percentage displayed on the right. After the execution, if an error is detected, an error message box will pop up.Similarly, the screen will jump to the two level of information after the confirmation, and a display / edit bar will be added to the top right of the screen. Here you can see all of the error specific locations, you can click on "ALL" to show all the errors, or you can select a error in the drop-down box, so you can query the specific location of the error.。

Gerber文件的应用什么是gerber文件GERBER文件是一种国际标准的光绘格式文件,它包含RS-274-D和RS-274-X 两种格式,其中RS-274-D称为基本GERBER格式,并要同时附带D码文件才能完整描述一张图形;RS-274-X称为扩展GERBER格式,它本身包含有D码信息。

常用的CAD软件都能生成此二种格式文件。

Gerber数据是由象片测图仪（Photoplotters）生成的。

象片测图仪由一个精密的伺服系统组成，该系统控制着一个X-Y工作台，上面附着一片高对比度菲林。

光源透过一个快门照在菲林上。

该快门含有一个光圈并聚焦在菲林上。

控制器把Gerber指令转换为适当的工作台移动，光圈旋转和快门的开合。

其结果就是我们通常看到的Gerber文件。

信号层用于放置连接数字或模拟信号的铜膜走线。

（2）Masks：掩膜Top/Bottom Solder：阻焊层。

阻焊层有2层，用于阻焊膜的丝网漏印，助焊膜防止焊锡随意流动，避免造成各种电气对象之间的短路。

Solder表面意思是指阻焊层，就是用它来涂敷绿油等阻焊材料，从而防止不需要焊接的地方沾染焊锡的，这一层会露出所有需要焊接的焊盘，并且开孔会比实际焊盘要大。

这一层资料需要提供给PCB厂。

Top/Bottom Paste：锡膏层。

锡膏层有2层，用于把表面贴装元件（SMD）粘贴到电路板上。

利用钢膜（Paste Mask）将半融化的锡膏倒到电路板上再把SMD元件贴上去，完成SMD元件的焊接。

Paete表面意思是指焊膏层，就是说可以用它来制作印刷锡膏的钢网，这一层只需要露出所有需要贴片焊接的焊盘，并且开孔可能会比实际焊盘小。

使用PCB GERBER文件时，经常会碰到如下扩展名的文件，像APR, GKO, GM, GTL, GTO, GTP, GTS, GPT, GD等等，有没有高手来说明下这些扩展名的文件分别和焊盘，防焊油，文字丝印等的一一对应关系。
