The IPC-2581 Configuration dialog
Summary
The IPC-2581 Configuration dialog is used to configure IPC-2581 exports. Related to the existing ODB++ format, IPC-2581 is an open-source standard developed by the Institute for Printed Circuits IPC-2581 Consortium some years ago (2004), but since refined to the most recent Revision A and B releases (IPC-2581A/B).

The dialog is accessed by:
- In the PCB editor, clicking File » Fabrication Outputs » IPC-2581.
- In an OutputJob file, adding an IPC-2581 job by clicking the
[Add New Fabrication Output]job group, then double-clicking on the new IPC-2581 Files job entry that is added.
