This command is used to export layers into a Rout file.
New! Version 5 can automatically detect Arcs.
Command Sequence
1. Select menu: File | Export | Rout. The Export Rout Wizard dialog box appears.
2. Verify the Export Rout file options you want to use, and press "Next". The Layer Options appears.
Note: To improve rout file accuracy you should select decimal digits of 4 (or higher).
Note: For description of each option, see below: Export Rout Options
3. If the filenames for the layers need to be changed, type-in the desired filename in the text boxes.
4. Using the check boxes in the Export column, select the layers you want to export, or deselect the layers you do not want exported. To Set All/Clr All, right-click within the Export column.
Note: Only Rout layers will have their Export column checked.
5. Select the folder to export the rout files into.
Note: If you select a new folder that does not exist on your system, it will be automatically created. It is recommended that you select a single folder to export all your files into (ie. gerbers, drill, netlist, notes, fab drawing, etc.)
Note: If you would like to always export your files to a specific folder, you may define the "Export Folder" in the Fab3000 Settings Dialog.
8. Click "Ok" to begin exporting your rout file(s).
9. Once export rout is complete, a Status & Import log are available for your review. If Fab3000 encounters any errors or warnings during export, they will be displayed here.
10. Click button "Finish" button to exit.
