[PCB_FORUM] Re: Can we set Artwork "undefined line width" set to 8 instead of (0) default

Hi Mark,

 

As I know there is no way directly to set default undefined line width or
shape properties.

But if you define firstly fab film as text file ( I defined every films as
one text file and every new 

design I imported (via load button) only.) you will not need to correct
every film parameters.

 

For example; I extraxted top layer parameters via rmb -> save and like this.

 

(axlfcreate "TOP" '(0 0 0 200 2540 1 0 0 0 0 0 1 0)

         '("DRAWING FORMAT/TOP" "VIA CLASS/TOP" "PIN/TOP" "ETCH/TOP"
"DRAWING FORMAT/TITLE_BLOCK" "BOARD GEOMETRY/OUTLINE" ))   

 

(0 0 0 200 2540 1 0 0 0 0 0 1 0) : These parameters define misc. Properties
(rotation, offset, undefined line width ....)

 

Below I pasted my text file which defines meaning of every parameters.

You could write your own film setup text file and only you will import once.

Subject: [PCB_FORUM] Can we set Artwork "undefined line width" set to 8
instead of (0) default 

 

Is there any way to set the default "Undefined line width" to 8?
Any global default parameter setting?
We must set this for every film file. If not, the outline for example will
not be displayed in the gerber viewer.
We set for RS274X in general params


The art_param file does not include this.

Example art_param
DEVICE-TYPE           GERBER_RS274X
OUTPUT-UNITS          INCHES
FILM-SIZE             240000 160000
FORMAT                5.4
ABORT-ON-ERROR        NO
SCALE                 1
SUPPRESS-LEAD-ZEROES  YES
SUPPRESS-TRAIL-ZEROES NO
SUPPRESS-EQUAL        YES
UNDEF-APT-CONT        NO

Also, if the outline is an "unfilled shape" we must set Shape Global
Paramater to RS-274X.
If not, we will get an error while cutting gerbers.


Any way to have all of this to be set as default?

Regards,
Mark
