Import and Export Details
CAM350XL is a flexible, open system offering a wide variety of import and export capabilities,
including ODB++, Gerber, IPC D-356, and many more (complete list below). CAM350XL is also equipped
with the option of importing advanced CAD databases, including Allegro, Boardstation,
and PADS Layout just to name a few.
Through the integration of intelligent data formats, CAM350XL has expanded the number of intrinsic aperture
shapes it supports. Through this expanded list of apertures, you will notice there is little to no need
for “Custom” apertures.

ODB++ Interface
The defacto standard for intelligent data exchange in EDA. ODB++ is an intelligent format that captures
all the CAD/EDA, assembly and PCB fabrication knowledge in one single database. This format takes the place
of individual Gerber, drill, and aperture files, and adds additional information such as components and nets.
All major CAD tools, can export this format, allowing the user to bring intelligent data into the CAM system.
Common issues with aperture files, drill tools, and other problematic data formats are avoided.
Users of CAD tools that do not have ODB++
export capabilities, can export this format
from CAM350XL, giving them a more accurate and intelligent method of data export.
With ODB++ import capabilities you will also have the luxury of utilizing
accurate intelligent data within your CAM350XL.
