Loads an Import Matrix file.  For more information about the Import Matrix file, please click here.

 

The Import Matrix File permits external tools (like PCB Design software) to predefine layers and jobs for intelligent loading into DFM Now! for instant Gerber Viewing & Verification.  This prevents the monotonous steps of loading Gerber & Drill files, assigning layer colors, assigning layer types, defining layer stack ups, defining blind/buried drill layers (if required), etc.; allowing pcb designers to easily use Gerber/CAM software for its primary purpose... to quickly verify their gerbers & drills are correct and ready for manufacturing.

 

The Import Matrix file also supports PANEL arrays which allow the merging of several PCB jobs together so they can be manufactured simultaneously - saving $$$ on fabrication costs. In addition, will automatically performs all necessary object transformations, dcode & drill tool transcoding.

 

Note: Simply call DFM Now! and pass the matrix file as the first argument.

Note: All DFM Now! Import Matrix Files must end with *.fm6.
