Board fabricators commonly use Barco AOI to inspect film. The AccuMatch compares pixel-to-pixel of the Gerber data to the image seen by the AOI camera. It's slower than design rule checking, but has definite advantages [like lower falsing]. Unfortu

One of our customers provides ODB++ files but not centroid. At one time if you extracted the files there was one file that contained the centroid data where you could just copy and paste to another file. The files provided to us do not have that fil

You should be able to export this data from each machine into an ascii format. Import into Excel and do what you want with it. I don't see that you should have to pay for any software at all. If you are not familiar with Excel and macros etc then get

Doug, Why not insist on the smae fromat from all customers. They can export center cad-data as easy as any other type. Do you send a DFM to your customers? If you tell them that it will improve your turn around time they will send you what you wan

Yeah - I can handle most scripting/programming - but I'm completely unfamiliar with this side of these machines. For example, when looking at the Aegis software, they're tracking real-time defects, etc....That's what I'm curious about there - how to

I have yet to find a truly effective ODB++ viewer. Although it has been promoted for over a decade as the solution to Gerber 274x's shortcomings, it remains highly proprietary, and the available viewers are limited in functionality. Most are cumberso

Good morning Mark, CAM (Computer Aided Manufacturing) products are designed to solve such tasks. You can try CAM350 for example. CAM350 understands different ASCII exported data from different CAD systems. CAD ASCII export contains all necessary inf

Nothing is automatic from Gerber. Gerber is stupid data. (Pads are defined, not components) I think you are looking for Centroid Outputs not CAD. Cad defines the components on the board as well as the board itself. Centroid gives Ref. Desig., X, Y,

Hello, We offer a product called - PROCAM for this very application. PROCAM uses Gerber (274X) as input and extracts the centroid data for each component automatically. It exports the centroid to standard excel format (including board outline, circu
