PCB Manufacturing
CAD Translation for PCB Manufacturing
PCB engineers use LinkCAD to convert Gerber RS-274X and ODB++ manufacturing data, import DXF board outlines, and prepare layouts for fabrication β with full support for aperture macros and layer polarity.
Why PCB Engineers Choose LinkCAD
Streamline Your PCB Data Exchange
Gerber/ODB++ Support
Full support for Gerber RS-274X photo-plot files and ODB++ design packages. Convert fabrication data to DXF, GDSII, or other downstream formats.
DXF Board Outlines
Import mechanical board outlines and mounting holes from DXF/DWG files into your PCB design flow.
Hole Auto-Detection
Automatically detect and create holes from overlapping areas β perfect for ground planes, thermal reliefs and negative text labels on PCBs.
PDF Documentation
Export PCB layouts to PDF or PostScript for design review documentation and archiving.
EM Simulator Formats
Convert PCB layouts to IE3D, Sonnet and ANSYS ANF formats for electromagnetic analysis and simulation.
Batch Processing
Convert entire sets of Gerber or ODB++ manufacturing files in batch mode using the command line for automated manufacturing workflows.
