Ken,

Most fab shops are using CAM based tools (Valor Genesis, Barco U-CAM,
Lavenir, IGI, etc)
and can only deal with standard data formats (ODB++, RS-274X, DPF, GEN-CAM,
IPC-350, etc).
Extracting the IPC-D-356x net list from a PADS database (ASCII) requires CAD
tools, or
third party programs...

You may be able to outsource the extraction to a design service, or find a
PCB fab shop
with in-house design services, cad tools (PADS) and skill sets....(our
company has several
design centers and we perform this service on a regular basis...)

If you need assistance... you can contact me offline..

Jim Axton, Corp. Director of Test, DDi

Subject: [TN] CAD Database file v/s Netlist file


PCB Expert,
If I provide my fab house CAD database file in ASCII format, do I still
have to provide netlist in IPC-356 file format. Can fab house be able to
extract needed netlist info for testing purpose out of database file?

The dilemma I have is that my cad person do not know how to extract the
netlist file from PADS. Any help/clarification in this direction will be
appreciated.

Re,
Ken Patel
