Navigation:  Job Editor Menu > File Menu > Open Compressed file (Zip,Tar,GZ,RAR)...

Automatically Loads Gerber and Drill data from a compressed file(.zip, .tar, .gz, .bz2, .rar).

 

Command Sequence

 

1. Select menu: File | Open Compressed file (Zip, Tar, etc.)..

 

2. Select the compressed file you want to import, and press "OK".  The file is instantly uncompressed and the  import wizard dialog box appears.

 

Note: Fab3000 will automatically determine the correct format and aperture rules necessary to bring in your gerbers with minimal effort. However, if you are aware of special circumstances regarding your gerber files (such as 274D gerbers using an Incremental type, End-Block-Character other than "*", etc) or you've had previously imported gerbers load correctly, you may want to change AutoLoad's default settings by clicking the button "Format Settings...".  If you are unsure, please leave the format settings defaulted.

 

3. Click "Next" to begin importing the files.

 

4. Once loading is complete, a Status & Import log are available for your review.  If Fab3000 encounters any errors or warnings during import, they will be displayed here.

 

5. Click button "Finish" button to view the imported data.

 

Note: To view the Import log file, press key 'F2'
