PADS Layout: Gerber and Excellon Parameterization<\/h2>\n<p>Print settings must be configured before generating Gerber and Excellon files. The default settings do not produce the best results. <\/p>\n<p>The main reason for parameterization is to use a higher print resolution. The default value of 1\/1000&#8243; is simply not sufficient for today&#8217;s high-density boards: if the database&#8217;s 10 nm resolution is rounded to a thousandth of an inch, it will have a noticeable effect on the final result. <\/p>\n<p>Another, perhaps even more important reason has to do with the Gerber RS-274X format. While its use is recommended, the best compatibility with manufacturers\u2019 CAM systems is achieved if the <code>G36<\/code> and <code>G37<\/code> commands are <strong>not<\/strong> used. <\/p>\n<p>When selecting a resolution, the maximum resolution is not necessarily the best choice. The manufacturer likely does not use it when creating pattern transfer documents, and lowering the resolution can cause the endpoints of small arcs to merge, which may cause problems in some CAM systems. <\/p>\n<p>It makes sense to set the parameters for both Gerber and Excellon in the same way. If you use full output resolution in Gerber but round off the drill coordinates, the end result will appear as if the holes are not centered within the pads. <\/p>\n<h3>1.1 Gerber Parameters<\/h3>\n<p>Printer configuration is a workstation-specific setting, so it is sufficient to set it up once on each computer.<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Select &#8221; <code>File | CAM<\/code> &#8221; and create a new CAM subdirectory by clicking the &#8221; <strong>Create<\/strong> &#8221; button (or clear the &#8221; <code>default<\/code>&#8221; directory).<\/li>\n<li>To add a new document, select <strong>Add&#8230;.<\/strong> <strong>In the Document Name field<\/strong> of the window that opens, enter the name under which you want the document&#8217;s parameters to appear in the list (in the example, &#8221; <code>Layer 1<\/code>&#8220;). The name will only appear <strong>in the \u201cDefine CAM Documents\u201d list<\/strong>, not elsewhere, so choose a name that you\u2019ll easily recognize later. The document itself is irrelevant in terms of print settings; it\u2019s used to access <strong>the \u201cDevice Setup\u201d menu<\/strong>. <strong>Under \u201cDocument Type<\/strong>,\u201d select \u201c <code>Routing\/Split Plane<\/code> \u201d and, from the layer menu that appears, select the corresponding layer (in this case, \u201c <code>Component Side Layer 1<\/code> \u201d).    <\/li>\n<li>You can access the configuration settings through a document. Select one of the documents from the list <strong>using the Edit command<\/strong>, or select <strong>&#8220;Device Setup<\/strong>&#8221; <strong>from the Add Document window<\/strong>.

It fills in the aperture table according to the job and enables Flash-type apertures for both oval and rectangular pads. <\/li>\n<li><strong>Fill width<\/strong>: PADS Layout does not use aperture rotation; instead, square and rectangular pads whose sides are oriented at angles to the main axes are created by drawing them with the &#8220;Fill width&#8221; line width.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Texts fill width<\/strong>: This value specifies the line width used for filling in TrueType fonts. Use a value that provides a sufficiently small rounding radius at the corners. A width that is too small may increase the size of the output file.  <\/li>\n<li><strong>Plotting size<\/strong>: The print area must be large enough. If the print area is too small, it will cause the layer in question to be centered. <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Note:<\/strong> If the PCB dimensions exceed one meter, select a resolution of <code>4.2 metric<\/code>, because the <code>3.3 metric<\/code> format only supports up to 999 mm, and data beyond one meter will be truncated.

However, since Excellon\u2019s standard unit in millimeters is the micrometer, we recommend a resolution of <code>3.3 metric<\/code>.   <\/p>\n<p><strong>Note:<\/strong> If the PCB dimensions exceed one meter, select a resolution of <code>Metric 4.2 (0000.00)<\/code>, because the <code>Metric 3.3 (000.000)<\/code> format only supports up to 999 mm, and data beyond one meter will be truncated. The Gerber output format must then be set to the same value (<code>4.2 metric<\/code>). <\/p>\n<p>The document <strong>on the Drill Listing tab<\/strong> is intended for printing on paper and is not currently used very often.

The default directory for parameter files is <code>C:\\MentorGraphics\\PADS<versio>\\SDD_HOME\\Settings<\/versio><\/code>.   <\/p>\n<p><strong>Attention!<\/strong>  Do not copy files from one version to another, as the file format may change from one version to another, and the files are not originally intended to be copied. Therefore, the software does not perform syntax checking on the files. <\/p>\n<p>Parameters can be transferred to the new version of PADS VX using the <strong>PADS Settings Migration<\/strong> program, which is installed along with PADS VX versions.<\/p>\n<h2>3. Other Important Printing-Related Matters<\/h2>\n<h3>3.1 Positioning<\/h3>\n<p>When using Gerber files, corner and alignment marks are not needed at all, provided that the files are positioned correctly and a single Gerber file is included that contains the board outline positioned in the same way as the other documents.<\/p>\n<p>Alignment is set via the &#8221; <strong>Options<\/strong>&#8221; button in <strong>the<\/strong>&#8221; <strong>Add<\/strong>&#8221; or <strong>&#8220;Edit Document&#8221; window<\/strong>. The default setting for the &#8221; <strong>Justification<\/strong> &#8221; option in <strong>the &#8220;Plot Options<\/strong>&#8221; dialog <strong>box<\/strong> is &#8221; <code>Centered<\/code>.&#8221; This means that the document is centered in the print area based on its minimum and maximum coordinates. However, PCB layers are different, and if alignment is calculated on a layer-by-layer basis, different layers will be aligned differently.  <\/p>\n<p>As a result, in printed circuit board manufacturing, the layers must first be aligned on top of each other, which creates extra work. The most difficult part is aligning the outline of the circuit board with the holes, because these documents do not share any common coordinates. <\/p>\n<p>You can completely avoid alignment issues by printing each document <strong>with the &#8220;Justification&#8221; option<\/strong> set to &#8221; <code>Offset<\/code>&#8220;:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>The offset value is selected so that the data to be printed remains entirely within the positive coordinate region.<\/li>\n<li>It is best to use 0.0 for the X and Y offsets and adjust the PCB origin accordingly in your design, for example, -100, -100. This is usually sufficient, even if there are layer labels placed below the PCB. <\/li>\n<li>During printing, PADS Layout checks to ensure that all data remains within positive coordinates, taking the line width into account. It\u2019s a good idea to make sure the preview image looks like the one in the PDF guide. <\/li>\n<li>If PADS Layout indicates during printing that it is centering a document, you should check what is causing the centering. If you need to adjust the offset value, do so for each document individually. <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>3.2 Printing the PCB Outline<\/h3>\n<p>If all the lines defining the outline of the circuit board are selected in a single document, the manufacturer can easily use that information to create a routing program. No other alignment or corner markers are needed, as long as the board outline is positioned exactly the same way as in other Gerber and Excellon documents. <\/p>\n<h3>3.3 Generating an Aperture Table<\/h3>\n<p>For each job, it is recommended to select the parameters in the component-side wiring diagram document, select &#8221; <strong>Device Setup<\/strong>,&#8221; and run the <strong>&#8220;Regenerate<\/strong>&#8221; command, as shown in section 1.1 (step 3) above.<\/p>\n<h3>3.4 Printing Holes Without Metal Filling<\/h3>\n<p>In the current version of PADS Layout, both unplated and plated holes are selected by default. This is a safe choice in the sense that there is no risk of &#8220;forgetting&#8221; the unplated holes. <\/p>\n<p>When using the method described above, in which the tool size is specified in Excelon in conjunction with the tool selection command, it would be best to export the metal-filled and non-metal-filled holes to their own files and name the files so that their intended use is clearly evident from the name.<\/p>\n<p>Information about hole metallization is indeed included in the report file(s) (e.g., <code>NCdrill.rep<\/code>) and in the Drill Drawing document, but if the data has to be cross-checked against different documents during the manufacturing phase, the risk of confusion increases.<\/p>\n<p>However, if you export all the holes to the same Excel file, make sure that &#8221; <strong>Non-Plated Pins<\/strong> &#8221; is selected. In this case, the manufacturer must check the plating of the holes in the report (<code>NCdrill.rep<\/code>) or the drilling instructions document. It\u2019s also a good idea to check your PCB supplier\u2019s recommendation on this matter.  <\/p>\n<h3>3.5 Printing the &#8220;Drill Drawing&#8221; Document<\/h3>\n<p>It is recommended to include machining instructions, slots, fillets, tolerances, etc., in the drilling instruction layer. Oval holes in components are generated using the &#8220;Drilled Slot&#8221; commands. Previous versions only printed the endpoints of the slot for an oval hole, making the \u201cDrill Drawing\u201d document absolutely essential. We recommend printing the \u201cDrill Drawing\u201d document even with the current version.   <\/p>\n<h3>3.6 List of Files and Their Purposes<\/h3>\n<p>PCB manufacturers receive Gerber files from various PCB design software programs, in which files are named differently; therefore, the file name for the same item varies. The manufacturer\u2019s setup process is expedited if a list of the files\u2019 intended uses is provided along with the files, in addition to the file name being displayed graphically within the document itself. <\/p>\n<p><strong>Tip:<\/strong> It is a good idea to group printouts intended for the PCB manufacturer consecutively in the document list and include a common prefix in the filename (see the \u201cOutput File\u201d filenames in the naming example). This makes it easy to select all consecutive lines during printing. With this naming convention, you can also use the template definition in the CAM350 software\u2019s import function to automatically generate the layer definition.  <\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-65b3457 e-con-full ds-aside ds-card e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"65b3457\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-5b93d17 ds-body ds-resbody elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"5b93d17\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"ds-aside-h\">Files<\/h2><ul class=\"ds-res\"><li><strong>Instructions (PDF)<\/strong><span class=\"ds-res-links\"><a href=\"https:\/\/dsys.fi\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/PADS_Layout_CAM_processing_VX.pdf\" class=\"is-pdf\" data-ds-modal=\"pdf\" data-title=\"PADS Layoutin CAM-tulostus: Gerber ja Excellon\">Open<span class=\"ds-vh\"> Instructions (PDF)<\/span><\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/dsys.fi\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/PADS_Layout_CAM_processing_VX.pdf\" class=\"is-zip\" download=\"\">Download<span class=\"ds-vh\"> the Guide (PDF)<\/span><\/a><\/span><\/li><\/ul>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-3166e0a ds-body ds-resbody elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"3166e0a\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"ds-aside-h\">Related Software<\/h2><ul class=\"ds-rel\"><li><a href=\"https:\/\/dsys.fi\/en\/cam350\/\">Valor CAM350<\/a><\/li><\/ul>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-b022d24 ds-body elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"b022d24\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"ds-aside-h\">Do you have any questions?<\/h2><p>Call <a href=\"tel:+358405203854\">040 520 3854<\/a> or submit a support request.
