With the help of our Data Reader function, we can automatically read the most important circuit board parameters from your layout data. This information can then be transferred to our configurator with one click!
Data formats
- Gerber 274X (mechanical layers also in NC or Gerber format)
- ODB++
- EAGLE
To get an accurate result, it is important to have clear layer names. Please take a look at our recommendations for the layer naming of the various data formats.
Identifiable parameters
- Number of copper layers and smallest structure sizes
- Size of the board
- Soldermask (two- or one-sided or without)
- Silkscreen (two- or one-sided or without)
- Smallest Via
- Blind Vias / Buried Vias
Information that are independent of the layout, such as material thickness, delivery panel design, some of the special technologies or even quantity and delivery time, must still be selected manually.
Note to the contour
Please always provide a separate contour layer and consider the following:
- Create the contour layer without external or internal elements. So no drawing frames, fiducial marks, … (if you have additional information please add a * .info layer)
- Define the outline as "Contour" (the center of the line defines the contour)
- The line of the contour must always be closed
Note on the identification of a Delivery Panel
The identification of a delivery panel is a challenge for any software.
Therefore, we kindly ask you to check if the software recognized the right type of your board. If necessary, you can change the configuration to a delivery panel or a single PCB at any time after filling the configurator. When indicated we will change it during the data check after we have received the order.
