Exporting CAM files from the CAD Tool

Many CAD tools can output a design in a CAM format such as Gerber-274X. You can create CAM files and compare them with a design stored in ODB++ format, by exporting the design to CAM format from the original CAD tool.

Note:

If you are performing an ODB++ product model comparison, instead of a CAM comparison, this procedure is not necessary.

Procedure

  1. Open the CAD tool and load the design to be exported to ODB++.
  2. Export the design in CAM format.
  3. If necessary, set up graphic synchronization with the CAD tool.
