CADCENTRIC

This is a collection of utilites which I have created as needed over the last 10 years.

1. Cadcentric - creates a list of component positions, board side, and rotation.  I created this to generate programming files for an assembly houses auto placement equipment.  All of the selections on cadcentrics main form are for this function.
2. PCB --> APT - This reads a PCB file, and generates a list of apertures which TRAXPLOT can use to generate gerbers.  Be sure to set the soldermask oversize setting before creating the apertures.
3. MAT --> APT - This reads the .MAT file created by TRAXPLOT and creates a neat, sorted aperture file (each entry only listed once).
4. GERBER --> XGERBER - This is the most usefull utility in this program.  This combines an aperture file, and RS274D gerber file/s into one / many RS274X embedded aperture gerber files.
5. DRC --> PCB - NEW 12-2008 This takes the Autotrax DRC output and creates a keepout layer showing the DRC errors. You can add them to the old pcb, create a errors only pcb to block read, or make a new merged pcb.

I will be adding online help for this program eventualy.

GERBER DRC

This program will be uploaded soon for comment.  It will evaluate a gerber file for spacing violations.
