IPC2581 array

MATRIX Array Level: 1

The IPC2581 array imports an IPC-2581 file. An unlimited number of IPC2581 files can be loaded.

Fields in the IPC2581 array
Description
FILE Path to the IPC2581 file (may also be a compressed IPC-2581 file). The path may be either Absolute or Relative. The can be unlimited number of IPC-2581 files loaded.
Layers=NAME,..., IPC-2581 layers to import. Must be comma separated. This is optional, and by default all layers are imported.
Steps=NAME,..., IPC-2581 steps to import. Must be comma separated. This is optional, and by default all steps are imported.
ConvertSurfacesToPolygons Converts complex IPC-2581 surfaces to simple polygons. May be time consurming. Only use this option if normal IPC-2581 import has troubles.

Example: The matrix example below will load 2 IPC-2581 designs. One an normal IPC-2581 file, and the other a compressed IPC-2581 file.

IPC2581{
FILE=CustomerFiles/pcb2311.cvg
}
IPC2581{
FILE=C:/Merge Folder/myIPC2581.zip
}

XML example:

<IPC2581>
<FILE>CustomerFiles/pcb2311.cvg</FILE>
</IPC2581>
<IPC2581>
<FILE>C:/Merge Folder/myIPC2581.zip</FILE>
</IPC2581>

JSON example:

"IPC2581": {
"FILE": "CustomerFiles/pcb2311.cvg"
}
{
"IPC2581": {
"FILE": "C:/Merge Folder/myIPC2581.zip"
}
