Summary

The IPC-2581 Configuration dialog is used to configure IPC-2581 exports. Related to the existing ODB++ format, IPC-2581 is an open-source standard developed by the Institute for Printed Circuits IPC-2581 Consortium in 2004, but since refined to the most recent Revision A and B releases (IPC-2581A/B).

For a high-level look at this fabrication format, see IPC-2581 Support.

Access

The dialog is accessed by:

  • In the PCB editor, clicking File » Fabrication Outputs » IPC-2581.
  • In an OutputJob file, add an IPC-2581 job by clicking the [Add New Fabrication Output] job group, then double-clicking on the new IPC-2581 Files job entry that is added.

  • Measurement System - use the drop-down to select either Metric or Imperial units.
  • Floating Point Precision - type in the desired number or use the arrow keys to select the desired floating point.
