Question with DFM rule do you have standard Rule set that base on IPC Spec?

I just download and try out the DFM Now, so far i can see this is great software, and it will help me alot with DFM. Question with DFM rule do you have standard Rule set that base on IPC Spec?, I do have a rule set, rul file export from altium design, but i don't know how to import in to DFM Now or Fab 3000.

1.  Typically DFM rules are dependent on the PCB manufacturer and not based strictly on IPC Specs.  It really depends on the type of PCB design you are creating.

2. We don't have a direct importer for Altium Rules.  However you can run "DFM Check", and simply enter those rule settings manually into DFM Now! (or FAB 3000).  DFM Now! will remember your settings so the next time you use DFM Check the rules you chose will be implemented.
Note:  You can also click "Save DRC/DFM Settings File (*.drc)...".  The next time you start DFM Now! you can open the *.drc file and use those settings.
