hi waheed, a polygon is good when you have irregulary shaped planes of copper. gerber files are what you finally knock out when you are ready to get a board made. you walk thru the file/cam manager and then F9 to generate them. you send these to the board shop to get the board made, along with the NC drill file, too.
i don't know about the pick and place stuff. good luck, waheed. i've been using protel on and off for two years and i'm still learning stuff. miker -----Original Message----- From: Waheed Bajwa [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Monday, May 20, 2002 4:35 AM To: Protel EDA Forum Subject: [PEDA] More Qs :) Hello all, Whats a polygon good for?
