Macaos Enterprise can generate technical drawings in PDF format for your products. Three kinds documents can be generated.
Layout documentation set
A layout documentation set is a PDF file with several drawings, one drawing per page. The contents of the set are
-
An overview of product properties
-
A layout drawing for each layer in the product
-
A stackup drawing (for PCB products)
-
A drill template drawing for each drill layer in the product
Panel drawing
A panel drawing shows the placement of boards and frame objects in a panel. See Panel drawing for more information.
Note: A panel drawing may only be generated in the panelization module. The Operatioins|Print|Panel drawing function in the Product browser simply extracts the panel drawing from the product archive. If no panel drawing exists, a warning is shown.
Stackup drawing
A stackup drawing shows the dimensions and materials of the copper and dielectric layers of a PCB product. It also shows the depths of through, blind and buried holes, if any.
