Creating an IPC-D-356 Netlist - LAB

The utility CAM350 uses to produce the IPC-D-356 netlist is an installation option. 


If you haven’t purchased the CAM350 CAD to IPC option you will not be able to perform this step. Instead, use the CAM_Demo_IPC.Net file provided in the Lab demonstration materials. 


Open a new session of CAM350. 


Using File/ Import > CAD Data select the PowerPCB CAD format. 


Set a path to Cam_Demo.ASC and Open it. 
(It’s not necessary to Extract Polygons for net checking and you can acknowledge the warnings that follow). 


Once the ASCII file has loaded, Export the IPC-D-356 netlist using the File/Export > Netlist > IPC-D-356 option. 


Set a path to your practice directory, assign a filename for the netlist and Save it. 


There is no need to save the imported ASCII file once the IPC-D-356 netlist has been saved.
