2.13.3 Entering panel outline

When the smartcad importer has been used the panel outline has to be added

manually with the MDF editor, this can be done as follows:

1. Start MDF edit on the imported PCB (Select view button)

2. Select Add > Panel outline

3. Enter the X, Y coordinates of the PCB below, on this screen:

4. After the first corner has been entered, the dialog continues and asks for

the second corner. Enter these coordinates (X,Y) and enter. Now the panel

outline will be shown.

Note that for adding board (=circuit) outlines, first draw the circuit contour

and make this one symbol with Symbol > Build symbol, then use Add >

Board outline to convert this graphic into the requested contour outline.

Revert to MDF help for further details.

2.13.4 Entering fiducials

When the smartcad importer has been used, often fiducials have to be added

manually via the MDF editor. This can be done as follows:

1. Start MDF edit on the imported PCB.

2. Select Add > Fiducial

Select the type of fiducial that must be entered, note that Panel fidicials are

for the entire PCB whereas board fiducials are for circuits.

Below on the window the fiducial data can be entered:

First enter the reference designator, press enter, then enter the (X, Y) coor-

dinates of the fiducial.

After the coordinates have been entered the dialog continues, the user can

select the next fiducial reference designator (the initial designator name is

shown, but the user must change this name), and then again (X, Y) coor

dinates of the next fiducials must be entered. After the last fiducial has been

entered delete the prompted reference designator with the backspace key and

press enter to end the data entry action.

Although it is possible to enter the coordinates by clicking on the PCB’s user

interface this is generally only done in cases some object is already present

that is not classified as fiducial yet. (Refer to the help menus of the mdf

editor to obtain more information about the various possibilities that are

present.)

2.13.5 Entering badmarks

steps can be followed to add badmarks in the MDF file:

1. Start MDF edit on the imported PCB.

2. Select Add > Board reject

3. Select the requested badmark type:
