Posted - 06 Jul 2022 : 18:19:36 When I export gerbers I get a .txt file named "transcode report." What is the purpose of this file? Looks related to the drill file only. I typically have deleted the file before sending the package to the board house but I'm wondering if it's useful for them?
Thanks |

Posted - 07 Jul 2022 : 17:20:35 I always check my files in viewmate directly after exporting so I thought the file was coming from Easy-pc but your right it was coming from the gerber viewer. I wouldn't have thought it would create a file into my design folders....
Thanks, I'll just delete in the future. |

Posted - 06 Jul 2022 : 19:20:28 Mark, I've had "similar" files created when viewing the Gerbers in a 3rd party viewer. My gut feeling is that it is a "lookup table to convert "D" codes to "text" apertures, - but I might be wrong! Try opening it with a txt editor. Certainly of no use to the pcb fabricator,-as I've never sent them! |
