Beginner, ART convert files.
« on: September 01, 2016, 08:16:40 am »
I am a beginner and want help to convert a folder of files ART to traditionally files to send to manufacture the board.

 The folder contains:
  -13 ART files
  -1 Drl file
  -1 Txt file

I'm very lost  :palm:

Hi Klaus11, sounds like the .art files were generated by Cadence Orcad, if that is the case then just change the file extension to .gbx if they are in RS274X format (extended Gerber), otherwise just change the file extension to .gbr. You can download a free Gerber viewer from Pentalogix.

Yes, there's nothing to convert, it's just Allegro's extension. Read the text file first. Then get the viewer from Pentalogix, zip up your files and open the .zip with the Pentalogix viewer. It'll sort out the files by itself. You might have to set the digits to make sure the art and drill import at the same scale.

Well this seems not work for me. Software pentalogix .ART opens files but does not convert the extension keeps .ART.
  Lamnetablemente the free version is disabled save and export functions.

You don't need to convert the files.

What does the txt file say?

What are you really trying to do?
