[PCB_FORUM] Re: Allegro ODB++

16.0 tech files are in xml format. I guess that IPC-2581 with be incrementally introduced in future releases.

Does anyone know when IPC-2581 will be implemented by CAD vendors?

Hi

Whether to use ODB++ or other formats can be a religious argument.
Rather than repeat what I've said before, read http://www.freelists.org/archives/icu-pcb-forum/05-2006/msg00104.html instead. 

Once ODB++ is more flexible, we may look at it again.  (I have other slight 
reservations that I won't go into here.)

Until then, we have Allegro and Gerbtool customised to an extent that gives us 
a 'one button click' solution for all our generation, electrical validation, 
and CAM validation.

Cheers,
Richard

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
