Paul,

As a thoroughly experienced and long time Valor user, first I can say it's a
great package though a bit tough to learn. Concerning ODB++, most all my fab
suppliers use the convention. CAM350 and most CAM packages also output ODB
as "smart" data instead of "dumb" Gerber.

By the way, I have a set of procedures that cut through the exhaustive Valor
documentation. When you're ready, I'll send them to you. Mostly they are
actual photos of nearly every screen used in the Valor program.
