If this layer is not present, our Gerber Walkthrough will help you generate this file. We need a watertight board outline on its own layer with no other text, measurements, or symbols. This data to result in board errors in some designs, and it is recommended to check ourĬAM Configuration page for how to avoid this. If something looks strange with your drill file layer, take a look at our DesignSpark Drill File CAM configuration page.ĭesignSpark also incorrectly adds Outline data to the Drill files by default. When you upload the zip file, you’ll have a chance to inspect and approve preview images of each layer. We need the drills exported in the 2:4 inches format or a 3:3 metric format, but there are a couple of other related settings to check. Our system will pick up the default filenames, so if you’ve already generated them you won’t need to rename anything. We have a full walkthrough showing how to generate Manufacturing Plots.
You can download them with instructions here. We’ve created 2 layer and 4 layer PCB Technology files that match our design specs. Design RulesĭesignSpark collects design rules in a Technology file for both the DesignSpark PCB Pro will roll-out globally within the coming weeks.DesignSpark is a free downloadable PCB design tool.
An upgraded autorouter optimises the efficiency of the board layout, while enhanced library support allows the latest symbols, footprints and 3D models to be imported.ĭesignSpark PCB Pro is released first in the UK, where a perpetual licence costs £375 ex VAT - making it attractively priced against similarly featured ECAD software. DesignSpark PCB Pro adds many key productivity features designed to accelerate the design process dramatically, including blind and buried vias, extensive copper pour rules, hierarchical blocks, net class level spacing rules, and manufacturability checks. RS will continue to support and develop the free version of DesignSpark PCB.Īs a result of customer feedback, RS has built out the DesignSpark feature set to bridge the gap between complex, expensive, high-maintenance PCB CAD software and low-end, unsupported open source products. RS’ pre-existing DesignSpark PCB software - now at Version 8.1 - is an award-winning, free-to-use set of ECAD rapid prototyping tools offering: seamless integration into existing workflows unlimited number and size of schematics unlimited layers, nodes, pads and connections integration with popular component libraries plus a library editor to create custom components unrestricted output of Gerber and ODB++ files bill of materials (BOM) generation in any format and integration with free DesignSpark mechanical and electrical CAD systems.
