Hi,

 

I have attached a set of imported gerbers that I can't get netlist

extract to work properly. Can you take a look to see why?

 

Thanks in advance!

PS. Thank you for making the built components export in the IPC-356

file. Works great!

Thanks for sending the sample files.  Netlist extraction requires that all "metal layers" type (i.e. Top, Bottom, Internal Neg Plane, Pos Plane) are properly defined.  When viewing your sample workspace, I noticed there were 2 non-metal layers that were incorrectly defined as "Neg Plane":

GESBC-9G20-GP.GPT

GESBC-9G20-GP.GPB


They look like a Paste or Mask layer.  I just defined them as "Graphic" (so Netlist Extraction ignores those layers) and everything appears to be fine when running Netlist Extraction.


Let me know your results.


Simon
