Options/Controls

Release Options Tab

• Release Target - use the drop-down to select a different release target vault. To release locally in offline mode, select Folder from the drop-down. You can also use  on the right-hand side to open the Data Management - Vaults page of the Preferences dialog to define connections to vaults, if required.
• Output Jobs
  • Source Data - enable the desired project source data. 
  • Fabrication Data - enable the desired data that will be used for board manufacturing (Gerber, ODB++, drilling information, etc.,). The exact content will be determined by the outjob.
  • Assembly Data - enable the desired data that represents assembly information (e.g., pick and place, assembly drawings, etc.,). The exact content will be determined by the outjob. Each variant is released to an individual item.
  • Custom Docs - enable the desired boxes to use backward compatibility and custom flows. Note that no references will be created, except to source data.

Item Naming Tab

• Project Name - use to define the name for the project. By default, this will be filled with the actual name of the project. Enter a new name if desired.
• Project Folder - use to define the top-level target folder in the vault into which the data will be released. Use  to open the Choose Folder dialog to search for and select a different folder. 
• Item Type/Name - displays the default naming schemes for the various data items that can be generated as part of the release.

Additional Controls
