[PCB_FORUM] Re: Allegro ODB++

Hi Dave,
We now use ODB++ virtually exclusively for fabrication, without any problems. 
Our manufacturing plant uses the ODB++ viewer for verification.
We have confidence in the ODB++ outputs but use GCPrevuePlus with the ODB++ add-on for a third-party check. ViewmasterEZ ($49) is also a great tool for cheaply viewing and verifying ODB++ data. 
We send no other data except for a pdf specification sheet.
Note that we also use ODB++ to support our array designs - ODB++ has a step and repeat feature.
I can't think why anyone would use Gerber/NC any more unless your fabricator won't accept ODB++. 

Cheers, Dave

Would like to get other user's thoughts on the use of ODB++:

- are you using ODB++ for fabrication, manufacturing, ICT
- does the Allegro "ODB++ inside" translator produce accurate and reliable data
- how do you verify the accuracy of your ODB++ data
- if using ODB++, do you provide additonal data/drawing formats
- any other pros/cons of ODB++ use

Thanks,
Dave
