They claim that it's not a usable format for their testing Have you tried the IPC-D-356A Netlist that the CAM Manger Test Point Ouput generates? > Why doesn't someone at Protel and the board-tester companies get together > and make a compatible format? How hard could it be for them to do? So what you'd like them to do is come up with a standard such as IPC-D-356A? Ok so it is buried under Test Point Output in the CAM Manager and most of us did not realize it was there until someone on the list asked a while back and we discovered it was there. Then again it only appeared in 99 or 99 SE. I talked to our board houses and they said they would love to have this format, but could deal with just about any format with their new $40K software package (they were very proud of it).
