About PCB Tools | ||
=============== | ||
|
||
PCB CAM Files | ||
~~~~~~~~~~~~~ | ||
|
||
PCB design (artwork) files are most often stored in `Gerber` files. This is | ||
a generic term that may refer to `RS-274X (Gerber) <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gerber_format>`_, | ||
`ODB++ <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ODB%2B%2B>`_ , or `Excellon <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Excellon_format>`_ | ||
files. These file formats are used by the CNC equipment used to manufacutre PCBs. | ||
|
||
PCB Tools provides a set of utilities for visualizing and working with PCB design files | ||
in a variety of formats. PCB Tools currently supports the following file formats: | ||
|
||
- Gerber (RS-274X) | ||
- Excellon | ||
|
||
with planned support for IPC-2581, IPC-D-356 Netlists, ODB++ and more. | ||
|
||

||
The PCB Tools module provides tools to visualize PCBs and export images in a variety of formats, | ||
including SVG and PNG. | ||
|

|
||
Future Plans | ||
~~~~~~~~~~~~ | ||
We are working on adding the following features to PCB Tools: | ||
|
||
- Design Rules Checking | ||
- Editing | ||
- Panelization | ||
