Scott,
                We at Praegitzer Design have the ability to output
IPC-D-356 netlist from most of our systems, We currently are using
Mentor, Allegro, Veribest, Visula, Accel tools (Tango/PCAD), PADS Power
PCB. The cam tool we use is really a manufacturing tool Valor Enterprise
3000, which we use at all of our Design centers along with our
Manufacturing sites (Praegitzer Industries Inc.).

        Subject:        [DESIGNERCOUNCIL] IPC-D-356 and ATE files

        I have a few questions regarding files for bare PCB ATE:

        1. Does anyone have the ability to output an IPC-D-356 file from
their
        PCB design software?
            If so what system are you using?

        2. Is anyone supplying ATE netlist files to their PCB fab shops?
What
        format is the file? What CAM software is     the shop using?

        If you have any input or opinions on this subject please jump
in.

        Thanks in advance,

        Scott
