Kevin,

Please remind everybody to load the aperture.txt first. If not doable automatically, they can try the import feature and go through this routine. If still does not work, they can type the apertures manually, making it into a nice columnar text file.

I would strongly suggest you learned to use a free gerber reader so you can try everything yourself.

And in the end you could ask IPC what is wrong, maybe they can do something about it ;-)

Good luck,

Objet : [TN] Reading IPC-B-24 data issues

Good Morning,

I will preface this with a statement that I am not a PCB designer, and I do not run the PCB design software we use.

That being said, I am attempting to have IPC-B-24 PCBs made by our PCB vendor instead of buying them off-the-shelf.

I purchased the IPC-A-24G artwork direct from IPC, and it came on a disc.  Two PCB houses and the stencil house have all responded it is unreadable.

The disc has ZIP file with the following:
IPC-A-24G Master Drawing (PDF).  This indicates original design was done by Magnavox in 1990.
Dcb24l01
Dcb24lst
cd2401.gbr
dc24lst.gbr
Aperture.txt

My PCB people are telling me the files won't even auto-import (automatic format detection) into CAM software.

Has anyone else run into this issue and know a solution?

Thanks,

Kevin Glidden
