We can accept AutoCAD release 10 through AutoCAD 2002. |
 |
Clearly indicate what the drawing units represent (i.e.:
inches, mm, microns) |
 |
Indicate the scale even if it is 1:1 |
 |
Make sure all layers are assigned a visible color |
 |
Remove layers that will not be used from the drawing |
 |
Delete any data outside of the actual image area such as
hard to see points |
 |
Name the layers so they are recognizable (pads, top traces,
silkscreen, etc). Everything does not have to be on the same
layer |
 |
Include layer combining instructions, (ex: component side
artwork = pads + top traces + outline + top text) |
 |
Do not separate each layer of a printed circuit board into a
separate drawing and if possible leave the layers overlaid
and registered within the one drawing file |
 |
If possible, use .shx fonts and if it's a special one, we
may not have it, so send it along with the drawing to avoid
any delays |
 |
If possible, do not use the "MTEXT" function to place your
text in the drawing |
 |
Indicate desired line thicknesses of single stroke text used
in silk-screen drawings |
