I have a question about how to handle Assembly Drawing plots. Does everyone use the Protel package with assembly drawing instructions on mechanical layers for submitting?... ..Or paste the board into another .PCB file with assembly instruction template and print size to fit page for the manf.... ..Or export a DXF and import into another software package with a Assembly Drawing template ready for editing before submitting? Also, I can generate PDF, SolidWorks, or Autocad files for the assembly manufactures to receive. I am just curious what is the most popular among you guys that actually use Protel and generate the files. It seems easy for me to add the assembly instructions on the Mechanical layers and print to a PDF format, but it sometimes can be too big for the 11x17 paper size and may even distort the film size when creating Gerber data.
Any help or replies are appreciated, Michael J B * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * To post a message: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] * * To leave this list visit: * http://www.techservinc.com/protelusers/leave.html * * Contact the list manager: * mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] * * Forum Guidelines Rules: * http://www.techservinc.com/protelusers/forumrules.html * * Browse or Search previous postings: * http://www.mail-archive.com/proteledaforum@techservinc.com * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *
