4 Layers PCB Board Gerber File Cloning will help engineer to restore the layout drawing, gerber file, BOM list and schematic diagram from physical 4 layers printed circuit board physical sample, and there are some preliminary preparation must be made before the beginning:
and the Preliminary preparation includes:
First of all: preparing component libraries and schematic diagrams In order to clone an accurate electronic PCB board, in addition to designing the principles, it is also necessary to draw well. Before proceeding with PCB design, we must first prepare the schematic SCH component library and PCB component library.
Element You can use Protel’s own library which is one of the most famous software for reverse engineering PCB board for the new library building, but it is generally difficult to find a suitable library. It is best to make your own component library based on the standard size data of the selected device.
In principle, do the PCB component library first and then the SCH component library. PCB component library requirements are relatively high, which directly affects the installation of the board; SCH component library requirements are relatively loose, as long as you pay attention to well-defined management Pin attributes and the corresponding relationship with PCB components will do.
PS: Pay attention to the hidden pins in the standard library. After that is the cloning of the PCB board schematic diagram, do After that, I am ready to start PCB design.
