PADS, ASCII output question: Scale factor?

May 16, 2007 27 Replies

My layouter wants to do something like that next time. He said he has some conversion routines he can try out. Anyhow, too late now as the boards are out of reflow and the remaining specialty items are being hand-soldered on. The first batch is actually already on the UPS truck.

Sorry but I am not. Only on the Cadsoft Eagle server because I switched to that software (but I don't do layouts except for some really nasty RF stuff).

Which machine do you have?

It's a Manncorp ECM98.

I would send them a file with a 1 inch square on it and let them work out teh scaling factor.

What is?

They didn't want to experiment but get it done. So they entered it all by hand. Guess what, no mistakes and the boards run just fine now.

I had a company make errors on a pcb we sent to them so 0% is a bit of an exageration. The board came back with all the holes in the right places but not a piece of copper etched !
