IPCB_GerberOptions interface

The Gerber (photoplot) settings stored with a PCB document, returned by IPCB_Board.GerberOptions.

public interface IPCB_GerberOptions : IPCB_AbstractOptions

Namespace: PCB · Assembly: Altium.SDK.Interfaces

Inherits: IPCB_AbstractOptions

Remarks

The interface extends IPCB_AbstractOptions. Export_ToParameters writes every setting as a parameter named after its property; Import_FromParameters reads them.

PlusTol and MinusTol are the tolerance range used when matching apertures for each item in the plots. If no exact match for an item is available in the current aperture list, an aperture within this tolerance range is used instead. Match tolerances are normally used only for a vector photoplotter that requires a fixed or supplied aperture file; they are not required when the apertures have been created from the PCB.

EmbedApertures

No description yet.

bool GetState_EmbedApertures();
void SetState_EmbedApertures(bool argValue);

Type: bool · Access: read/write

Newly created options start with false.

FilmSizeX

The film width, in internal units (10,000 per mil).

int GetState_FilmSizeX();
void SetState_FilmSizeX(int argValue);

Type: int · Access: read/write

Newly created options start with 20000 mil.

FlashAllFills

Whether fills get flash apertures of their full size.

bool GetState_FlashAllFills();
void SetState_FlashAllFills(bool argValue);

Type: bool · Access: read/write

When an aperture list is created from the board and this is true, each fill gets a rectangular flash aperture of the fill's size and rotation. When it is false, fills get smaller draw apertures that paint the fill. Newly created options start with false.

G54

No description yet.

bool GetState_G54();
void SetState_G54(bool argValue);

Type: bool · Access: read/write

Newly created options start with false.

GerberDecs

No description yet.

int GetState_GerberDecs();
void SetState_GerberDecs(int argValue);

Type: int · Access: read/write

Newly created options start with 1.

GerberUnits

No description yet.

int GetState_GerberUnits();
void SetState_GerberUnits(int argValue);

Type: int · Access: read/write

Newly created options start with 3.

MaxAperSize

The maximum aperture size, in internal units (10,000 per mil).

int GetState_MaxAperSize();
void SetState_MaxAperSize(int argValue);

Type: int · Access: read/write

Newly created options start with 250 mil.

MinusTol

The minus tolerance used when matching apertures, in internal units (10,000 per mil).

int GetState_MinusTol();
void SetState_MinusTol(int argValue);

Newly created options start with 0.005 mil (50 internal units). See the type remarks for how the tolerances are used.

PadsFlashOnly

Whether flash apertures are used only for flashing.

bool GetState_PadsFlashOnly();
void SetState_PadsFlashOnly(bool argValue);

Type: bool · Access: read/write

When an aperture list is created from the board and this is false, apertures created for flashing are marked for multiple use (flash and draw). Newly created options start with true.

Whether pads and vias with a relief shape get relief apertures.

bool GetState_ReliefShapesAllowed();
void SetState_ReliefShapesAllowed(bool argValue);

Type: bool · Access: read/write

When an aperture list is created from the board and this is false, a relief-shaped pad or via gets a round draw aperture the size of its relief air gap instead of a relief flash aperture. Newly created options start with true.
