Re: [PEDA] IPC-D-356 Netlist (IPC-D-356A options) Lou, We send the IPC file with all of our boards. Include the conductor traces, we set the min adjacentcy to 25 mils, and use the board outline , mechanical layer. With these settings there is more than enough information for your board house. The fab house will only test endpoints on a trace however these options will provide everything they need to extract the end points. Include the trace information because the board houses will perform DRCs on your design before sending it to the floor. They have caught and save my behind several times. (traces barely touching, and left over via) Use the IPC format, not the XLS or or other formats. Disgard the report it generates. I recommend setting the NCD drill and the gerber to the absolute origin, only because there is a reproducable bug in Protel. The bug is a different count in holes. Generate Gerbers, NCD and IPC at the same time, not separately Hope this helps
