In response to Jamie Baumgart's question: > 2) Don't most CAM/photoplotters/laser plotters handle this format? As a Fabricator I have loved the change to RS274X, or MDA autoplot, or the addition of aperature reading scripts by my CAM vendor...We seem to be able to "auto read" all be the oldest of CAD systems directly in..So, Unless You are using Autocad....(very poor gerber conversions)....or other systems that have not had an update in the last 3 years your talbes are probably readable in most CAM systems or you can output an embbeded aperture format.. The best feature is the MDA format alows for creation of "special" apertures that can go directly to the plotter..Very nice feature. I have not had any problems with the Embedded formats "changing" and aperture, however I have had customers send in 274X data thinking they had output something one way and it was really another..so, please provide a reference file for verifiaction. We work in fully embedded files from the reciept of the data, and no typing is done after the intial input.. I would say that 70% of our input today is auto load...(either 274X or readable tables).
