Exchange of Data and Communications

If you are contemplating the use of a service bureau for the first time, you may have questions and doubts. What kinds of information should you provide? What can you expect from them in terms of deliverables? You should find our description of a typical project most helpful. In that section, you will also find a table describing the types of information exchanged in the process.

CAD Software Formats

Since the data for manufacturing printed circuit boards is created by software, questions of compatability enter the picture. We cover the issues involved in an article on software formats, which includes these topics:

• PCB Software
• Schematic Software
• Older Databases

eDrawings Viewer

There has been a lot of interest in a free eDrawings Viewer, which will view Autocad and Solid Works and other drawing formats. In the future, we will cover the topic of how to best utilize this software in more detail. For now, here is how to obtain a free EModelViewer.
