Improved ODB++ Output (DFM)

  • Component outlines on resist layers are now exported

  • Shapes which have a line width of zero are exported

  • Dimensions are exported to ODB++

  • Dotted and dashed lines can now be exported

  • Test land pad shapes are now written to the solder resist layer

  • The design origin is now taken into account

  • The height defined on a PCB Footprint is now written out

  • If no symbol outline is found on the placement layer then the bounding box of the component definition is output. This includes outlines, copper and pads (NOT text)

  • ODB++ specific component attributes are written out as text, and also as attributes associated to the components

  • All component copper is now written out, not just copper on electrical or power plane layers

  • It is now possible to assign the subtype ‘Solder Resist’, ‘Paste’ and ‘Silkscreen’ to more then two layers

  • The new subtype ‘ROUT’ can now be assigned to multiple non-electrical layers

  • Unconnected pins now display net name $NONE$

  • Support for areas added. Six new layers are output, one for each type of CADSTAR area. They are named:

drc_comp_height
drc_comp_keepout
drc_comp_keepin
drc_trace_keepout
drc_via_keepoutdrc_route_keepin
