[PCB_FORUM] Re: ODB++ Configuration

Hello Randy

For various reasons we don't use ODB++.  We use 274x and Gerbtool,  (generation 
and validation in ten minutes.)

However if we did use ODB++ I would definitely check out Gerbtool for that as 
well.

Cheers,
Richard

Dave,

We did this in Valor class, and the best results were not using the translator 
at all.

Go straight to Valor Enterprise 3000, and import the file, their translators 
work better than any of the vendor supplied ones.

I love that netlist check tool, saved my bacon a number of times(esp. plane 
checks).  Now I work for somebody that cant afford that stuff, whats your take 
on GerbTool, and CAM350?

Randy
