Online Movie: Import Aperture List using Aperture Rules

Note: The loaded file overwrites the current aperture data, and there is no Dcode translation. In most cases you will want to use this feature for loading specific aperture files that do not load using AutoLoad Gerber Wizard.

Note: DFM Now! does not detect the aperture list format using this command, so you must also define which Aperture Wizard Rule to use during import.

Note: Import Aperture List provides an excellent way to debug Aperture Wizard Rules that you have created with the Aperture Rules Editor. To verify results of a newly created Aperture Wizard Rule: Create a new job, Import the aperture list, and review the Aperture Table.
