Hi Paul,


I work for Toppan Electronics in San Diego, we are a
fab house.

We strongly prefer ODB data. I tell our Sales people
to beg for it!

For the past 2 years we have tracked type of data
(274D, 274X and ODB) and problems with that data such
as bad aperture lists, missing layers, incorrect
filename identification, etc, etc, etc.

For example, for the last 226 jobs we have input we had
41 issues with gerber, 0 for ODB. That's a lot of phone
calls and time spent just getting the data INTO our Genesis
system. We allocate 5 min to get the data and import an
ODB job, 30-40 for gerber (sometimes it takes hours for
gerber, that happens about once a month...)

I realize not everyone uses Genesis as their CAM system, but
I would wager that a majority of the bigger fab houses do.

So, yes, PLEASE generate ODB as a first choice and only send
out gerber if asked too...

Of course that's just my opinion, I could be wrong...
