| File Conversions |
| NPI provides a service in which CAD files are converted from one format to another. There are many types of file formats that are used by various CAD programs. Often the design house produces a format that is not usable by the fabricator or photo plotter. The standard is Gerber format; most design houses will be able to produce Gerber files for PCB fabrication. |

| What is File Conversion? |
| File conversion is changing the format of a file from one standard to another. NPI can change between many formats types. The goal is to produce one that is compatible with the equipment of the customer and/or his vendors. For example, Gerber format is standard for the printed circuit board industry, but DXF formats are standard for the mechanical and architectural industries. This however, does not mean that a mechanical design package is incapable of outputting printed circuit designs, it only means that it's output file must be converted before Photoplotting can take place. Due to the complexity of these formats conversions may require manual editing to achieve the proper results. |
| |
| Some of the most common file formats are: |
- Gerber RS274 or RS274X (preferred)
- Autocad DXF
- IGIS
- HGPL
- DMPL
- EXCELLON
- SIEB & MEYER
|
| The above formats may be supplied in ASCII, EIA, or EBCIDIC codes. |
