Output File


The Output File contains the data produced by the CAM Processor.

The following file names are commonly used:


-------------------------------------------------------

*.cmp  Top, Via, Pad        Component side
*.ly2  Route2, Via, Pad     Inner signal layer
*.ly3  Route3, Via, Pad     Inner signal layer
*.ly4  $User1               Inner supply layer
...                         ...
*.sol  Bot, Via, Pad        Solder side
*.plc  tPl, Dim, tName,     Silkscreen comp. side

Alternative Output File Names

If you enter ".EXT" into the Output field the output file "boardname.EXT" will be generated.

In order to avoid the Gerber info file in a Job being overwritten by the following Section, you can enter ".*#" into the Output field (where "*" stands for any number of valid filename characters). The output file name will then be "boardname.*x", and the info file name will be "boardname.*i". If, for instance, a board named "myboard.brd" is loaded and you have entered ".cp#" into the Output field, an output file "myboard.cpx" and a Gerber info file "myboard.cpi" will be generated.
