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 in 2004, but since refined to the most recent Revision A and B releases (IPC-2581A/B).
Access
The dialog is accessed by:
- In the PCB editor, clicking File » Fabrication Outputs » IPC-2581.
- In an OutputJob file, add an IPC-2581 job by clicking the
[Add New Fabrication Output]job group under the Fabrication Outputs region, then select IPC-2581 » [PCB Document] or other desired document listed.
Options/Controls
- IPC2581 version - use the drop-down to select the correct version of IPC-2581.
- Measurement System - use the drop-down to select either Metric or Imperial units.
- Floating Point Precision - type in the desired number or use the arrow keys to select the desired floating point.
- OEMDesignNumberRef - use the drop-down to select the component parameter to be used. DesignItemID is the default.
