You also need to be able to generate documentation outputs, such as print-type outputs to Windows printers, and tabular output suitable for the Bill of Materials.ĬircuitMaker has built-in support for all of the output types needed, including Microsoft Excel format output with support for Excel templates. To fabricate a printed circuit board, there are a variety of files needed in specific formats, such as Gerber, NC drill, or ODB++. The Generate output files dialog provides controls to configure and generate manufacturing outputs from the current board design in a batch-style release process. Have a favorite not listed? Leave it in the comments below.The Generate outputs command opens the Generate output files dialog, which provides controls to configure and generate manufacturing outputs from the current board design in a batch-style release process. The command is accessed from the PCB editor, schematic sditor, and the Layer Stack Editor by choosing Project | Project Actions | Generate outputs from the main menus.
