File formats supported by AUTOLOAD:

  • Gerber (all types)
  • NC Drill
  • NC Mill/Rout
  • IPC Netlist
  • ODB++
  • IPC-2581
  • DXF
Fields in the AUTOLOAD array
Description
FOLDER Path to the folder. The path may be either Absolute or Relative. If empty, the active folder will be used.
ImportSubfolders Import any subfolders. Files in subfolders will be placed into separate jobs(s), to maintain folder heirarchy.

Example: The matrix example below will load all files from a folder. The last example has Subfolders importing enabled.

AUTOLOAD{
FOLDER=C:/MergeFolder/myJob343223
}
AUTOLOAD{
FOLDER=C:/MergeFolder/panel34664
ImportSubfolders
}
# Empty. Will Autoload all files from the active folder
AUTOLOAD{
FOLDER=
}

XML example:

<AUTOLOAD>
<FOLDER>/opt/MergeFolder/myJob343223</FOLDER>
</AUTOLOAD>
<AUTOLOAD>
<FOLDER>/opt/MergeFolder/panel34664</FOLDER>
<ImportSubfolders/>
</AUTOLOAD>
# Empty. Will Autoload all files from the active folder
<AUTOLOAD/>

JSON example:

"AUTOLOAD": {
"FOLDER": "/opt/MergeFolder/myJob343223"
}
"AUTOLOAD": {
"FOLDER": "/opt/MergeFolder/panel34664",
"ImportSubfolders": ""
}
