Import menu is used to copy files to project. We support 4 gerber layers, 2 for each side.
Just import paste layer and overlay for each side.
Export menu
The export menu is used to prepare V2 SMT file. Each variant is saved to V2 project file.
Our software is able to export CSV files to use data for other PNP machines.
Print menu
Print menu is used to do the documentation job.
You receive the feeder report including used feeder marked for machine setup.
Print SMT file does a report including all parts for top and bottom side, including the gerber view for each side too.
Machine setup sheet will build a difference report from what is installed on machine and which changes need to be done.
Settings topmenu
Settings Menu used to customize colors and print settings.
Event the PCB settings default values are stored here.
Print settings
Print settings for PNP / SMT report.
Colors for gerber printout can get modified here.
All fields coud get enable to get included in report.
Font for printing is selectable or can get enable for auto scaling.
Added new flag to suppress the Pad layer in the report.
Print settings for feeder report.
All fields coud get enable to get included in report.
