[PCB_FORUM] Re: ODB++ Translator : V7 / V6 Specifications

Charles / Dave,

I have set the V6 switch (-dgr) for our output per your recommendations.

We'll be forwarding some observations and sample output (V6 and V7) for 
evaluation to the folks who support our MFG data translator.

Appears that ODB++ is not the (immediate) solution to all of our data 
requirements as I had initially thought. Seems to be a strong reliance on Valor 
tools throughout design to manufacture, and not all of our vendors have the 
most current Valor tools.

Thanks for everyones help!
Dave
