Re: [PEDA] IPC-D-356 Netlist (IPC-D-356A options)

Lou,
We send the IPC file with all of our boards. Include the conductor traces,  we set the 
min adjacentcy to 25 mils, and use the board outline , mechanical layer.  With these 
settings there is more than enough information for your board house.  The fab house 
will only test endpoints on a trace however these options will provide everything they 
need to extract the end points.  Include the trace information because the board 
houses will perform DRCs on your design before sending it to the floor.  They have 
caught and save my behind several times. (traces barely touching, and left over via)   
Use the IPC format, not  the XLS or or other formats.  Disgard the report it generates.
I recommend setting the NCD drill and the gerber to the absolute origin, only because 
there is a reproducable bug in Protel. The bug is a different count in holes.  
Generate Gerbers, NCD and IPC at the same time, not separately
Hope this helps

[Luo . Yu-Ming]

Dear All,

Does anyone knows what the IPC-D-356A options exact mean? Especially
"Adjacency Information" & "Conductor Traces" options, How to set the
options? I failded to find any about these options in protel help.

As Mike said, should set gerber output option "Position On Fime" to
"Reference to Absolute Origin". then should I also set the NC drill output
option "Coordinate Position" to "Reference to Absolute Origin"? 

Thanks a lot.

Luo.

Use the CAM manager, set up test point output, select IPC 356 format. Make
sure all origin in pcb and gerber are set to absolute .  The IPC format
works great, we use it for all of our designs

Does anyone know if it is possible to create an IPC-D-356 format netlist
form
Protel 99SE?  Is there a tool that can convert any of the formats
supported by Protel to this format?

Regards,

Hamid Wasti
